Repower Michigan with Clean Energy

Too much of our energy comes from dirty sources that harm our environment. But by tapping the power of the sun and wind, and using less energy in the first place, we can repower our lives with clean energy that doesn’t pollute and never runs out.

Protect the Great Lakes

More than 24 billion gallons of untreated sewage pour into the Great Lakes every year, forcing beaches to close and contributing to massive dead zones. Short-sighted Supreme Court decisions have left more than half of Michigan’s streams vulnerable to pollution — including streams that flow into the Great Lakes. The EPA can fix this problem by updating clean water standards, but polluters and their allies are threatening to block them. To protect the Great Lakes, we need to show massive public support for clean water.

Healthy Farms, Healthy Planet

The food we eat is one of our closest connections to the natural world. Farms should be environmentally friendly and provide food that is safe and healthy. Environment Michigan is working to make sure the rules for conventional farms are strong enough to protect our rivers and bays. At the same time, we are helping to build the market for food from local farms that grow diversified crops using sustainable practices.

Clean Air, Healthy Families

New air pollution standards will cut mercury pollution by 90%  and save 46,000 lives each year. The coal industry and their friends in Congress are trying to roll back these standards, but we’re urging Congress to let the EPA do its job and move forward with its commonsense plan to protect public health.
