Protecting our Lakes
π Keeping our lakes clean and healthy is a shared responsibility! Here are a few tips to help protect our precious waterways:
π― Avoid Littering: Dispose of trash in designated bins. Littering pollutes the water and harms wildlife.
πΏ Use Environmentally Friendly Products: Opt for biodegradable and non-toxic products when cleaning boats and gear.
π¦ Respect Wildlife: Enjoy observing wildlife from a distance and refrain from feeding them. Human food can harm them and disrupt their natural behaviors.
Lenawee Countyβs lakes are a treasure for all to enjoy. Let's work together to keep them beautiful for generations to come! ππ
Swim Smart
π Stay Safe This Summer: Swim Smart! π
πββοΈ Swim in Designated Areas: Always choose areas designated for swimming. These spots are monitored for safety and water quality, reducing risks of accidents and harmful bacteria.
πΆ Supervise Children: Never leave kids unattended near the water. Drowning can happen quickly and silently. Always designate a responsible adult to watch over young swimmers.
π¦Ί Use Life Jackets: For those who are not strong swimmers or young children, life jackets are essential. They provide buoyancy and can be lifesaving in emergencies.
π« Follow Posted Rules: Pay attention to all posted signs and warnings. They're there to protect you from hazards like strong currents, sudden drop-offs, or underwater obstructions.
βοΈ Stay Hydrated and Sun-Protected: Prolonged sun exposure can lead to dehydration and sunburn. Drink plenty of water and use sunscreen with a high SPF to keep your skin safe.
Stay safe and enjoy the water responsibly! πποΈ #WaterSafety #SummerFun #StaySafe

Stress doesn't only affect your mental health; it has profound implications for your physical health as well. It can exacerbate heart disease risks, increase blood pressure, contribute to diabetes, and disrupt your digestive and immune systems. This can lead to more frequent sicknesses and a general decrease in physical health that can complicate existing conditions or lead to new health issues.

Today is World Hand Hygiene Day and is an excellent reminder that you should be washing your hands (with soap! and warm water!) several times throughout the day.
Vaccines help people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. Before the first vaccine in 1794, any disease had the power to wipe out millions. Since then, the world is a healthier place for us all. #WorldImmunizationWeek
In addition to keeping us healthy as individuals, vaccines are also critical to keep our communities functional and thriving by preventing and controlling the spread of infectious diseases. #WorldImmunizationWeek
