The Stewardship Network's Spring Challenge (April 10 - June 30, 2024) unites organizations and individuals that care for land and water to raise awareness of our collective impact and "do more together." Last year's program recorded over 50,000 hours of stewardship from over 13,00 participants! From planting to pulling, clean-ups to education, if your efforts support a healthier ecosystem where you live, please join us so together we can inspire others. Learn more and report your hours now at stewardshipnetwork.org/spring.

Psst - The Stewardship Network is providing prizes to participants via a weekly drawing to encourage early reporting!

With generous support from the Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition, MiCAN mentors sets of three local storytellers through the Climate Influencer Cohort to become messengers creating climate, culture, and decarbonization content.

Young BIPOC Michiganders are undeniably the group most affected by climate change, yet historically have been left out of the conversation. We're passing the mic to diverse (racial, geographic, economic, etc.) youth (aged 18-25) whose voices will resonate with Millennial, Gen Z, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA2S+ followers, to do our part in changing the face of the climate movement to center the most marginalized.    

Participants in the 12-week, paid program gain close guidance from MiCAN staff, exposure to other members of Michigan's environmental justice movement, and climate communications experience and credibility, all while helping MiCAN reach new audiences by cultivating dialogue within their own communities, informing their peers in Michigan how they can become more climate resilient.

Story by Byron Tollefson of WOOD TV

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Michigan is set to build dozens of electric vehicle charging stations across the state, several of which will be in West Michigan.

Nearly $23 million from the federal government is supporting the construction of 41 charging stations. They will be built right off major highways so drivers can make long trips without worrying about running out of power.

River Network has hosted River Rally for decades, bringing the network together for an infusion of learning, inspiration, and celebration. The joyful and deeply moving experience of River Rally combats feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and burnout for network members working at the intersection of water and justice by building knowledge and skills, diversifying perspectives and solutions, recognizing achievements within the network, and strengthening connections. Built by and for the national network of water, justice, and river advocates, River Rally ignites collective action and power for the work ahead.

At the Network's 25th rally, you can expect outstanding local field trips, stimulating sessions, amazing venues, and opportunities to enjoy the riverfront with old and new friends.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Filmmakers and Great Lake enthusiasts William Wright, Davis Huber and Chris Yahanda grew up in Indiana, often traveling to the lakeshore to do just about everything.

Published by the Michigan Environmental Council on January 4, 2024

Colleen Otte is no grizzled, veteran climate activist, but even in her few years in the movement, she's seen how far Michigan has come.

Otte is the communications manager for the Michigan Climate Action Network (MiCAN). When MiCAN formed in 2015, she said climate change was something not often talked about. That made solutions like carbon neutrality unattainable.

Yet, just eight years later, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed one of the nation's boldest sets of climate policies into law.

By 2040, Michigan will have 100% clean energy, major energy efficiency upgrades, and better long-term planning by utility companies, made possible by thousands of workers in new jobs.

All of this happened despite well-funded, well-connected special interest groups who tried to water down a truly ambitious and just clean energy transition.

"We kind of say that our movement is not yet at fighting weight, because we know that this is not a fair fight to begin with, really," said Otte.

What made this historic climate moment happen, then, despite the odds? Michigan had the public support, the research, experts, and activists. It was just a matter of coming together.

Michigan Climate Action Network, together with the Environmental Law & Policy Center, is seeking a legal appeal of the Michigan Public Service Commission's decision to allow the building of a tunnel to house the Line 5 pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac.

“The last thing we need to be doing is building new fossil fuel infrastructure like a new pipeline under the Straits and locking in more reliance on oil”

Lansing, MI – The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) has granted Canadian oil giant Enbridge a permit to replace the existing Line 5 dual oil pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac with an untested underground pipeline tunnel.

MiCAN is thrilled to showcase this year's Michigan Climate Champion Award winners, thanks to generous support from the Colina Foundation. The awards, based off of community nominations, honor the dedicated professionals, activists, and young people doing the hard work of moving Michigan toward a just and sustainable future. For our 2023 edition we elected the theme "Ending the Era of Fossil Fuels" – the first, most logical step in addressing the climate crisis. We applaud the efforts of these dedicated individuals to address the source of the crisis in our state (and beyond) head-on!

Climate Champion Award

Recognizes a professional working for an organization, a municipality, or business in Michigan

Congratulations, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel!

We are honored to announce our professional championing undeniably exceptional work for communities across the Great Lakes State, Attorney General Dana Nessel. A graduate of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University Law School, and former criminal prosecutor and civil rights attorney, Nessel was sworn in as Michigan’s 54th Attorney General on January 1, 2019. In the years since, her core initiatives have been fashioned in the image of her promise to Michigan’s residents: to give the Department of Attorney General back to the people that it serves.

Perhaps nowhere has this been more apparent than in her efforts to hold Enbridge Energy Co. accountable, and debunk its claims that better alternatives to the Line 5 pipelines are not already available — specifically, in providing a voice for Michigan's people through her brief in support of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in its lawsuit against the oil giant. Nessel has also protected residents’ interests by saving ratepayers more than $2.4 billion in unfair utility rate increases, bringing relief through litigation to communities impacted by PFAS “forever chemicals,” and reviving the department’s environmental crimes unit to make full use of its criminal prosecuting authority in defense of the State’s natural resources.

Climate Action Award

Recognizes a person doing exceptional work as a volunteer on behalf of an organization(s)

Congratulations, Stephanie Johnson!

Stephanie, a Detroiter, became aware of energy inequalities in 2016 when she went into collections because of a DTE bill after losing her job. Fast forward to a few years later, and she was a dedicated activist in Soulardarity's "Work for Me DTE" campaign promoting affordability, health, community ownership, and good jobs through local clean energy. Stephanie's commitment to bringing solutions to those affected and advocating for their voices in influential spaces has been unwavering, as she has courageously lent her own personal narrative as official testimony in legal interventions with the Michigan Public Service Commission and more. Her contributions were instrumental in challenging DTE's extractive Prepay Program and Rate Hike proposals, leading to significant victories for ratepayers. 

During her tenure as a fellow for the Soulardarity Community Organizing Collaborative (SCOC), Stephanie's efforts in community outreach for the Communities LEAP initiative, a collaboration with the Department of Energy granted to the city, played a pivotal role in securing invaluable technical assistance for Highland Park, which will be crucial in steering the community towards a sustainable, renewable energy future. Last but not least, Stephanie is actively building local energy resiliency by introducing a toolkit of resources for launching a community-owned backup power supply in Southeast Michigan neighborhoods.

Stephanie has a B.A. from the University of Detroit and a Masters in Training and Development from Oakland University. She now serves as the Vice-chair on the Polar Bear Sustainable Energy (PBSE) Co-op board, which she joined during the pandemic with a personal goal of contributing and participating in Energy Democracy. Her professional experience ranges from IT to program management.

Young Climate Leader Award

Recognizes a student or youth doing exceptional work as a volunteer or individual

Congratulations, Mia Breznau!

Mia Breznau is a high school senior from Kalamazoo. For the last two years, she’s been a member of the Ardea Youth Climate Coalition, a high school advocacy group through the Kalamazoo Nature Center. She also co-founded National Youth for the Climate Emergency (NYCE), which serves to amplify youth climate work across the country.

Press Release | October 27, 2023

The Michigan Clean Energy Future bills (Senate Bills 271, 273, 502) that passed the Senate yesterday move the State towards renewable energy while also codifying industry bids to maintain the status quo. 

We applaud that the bills will strengthen the Michigan Public Service Commission’s (MPSC) oversight capacity by requiring the MPSC to take into account climate, justice, affordability, and health. Importantly, this legislation will increase the use of rooftop solar and embrace the capability of energy storage to improve our grid’s reliability.

Colleen Otte, Communications Manager

[email protected]

A northern Michigan native, Colleen Otte learned to appreciate early on the rare beauty of the natural resources surrounding residents of Michigan. Eager to protect the lakes she swam in, forests she hiked, and wildlife she spotted growing up, Colleen looked for ways to combine her knack for wordsmithing with environmental causes, which led her to join the Residential Initiative on the Study for the Environment at Michigan State University, majoring in journalism. After earning her undergraduate degree with a minor in sustainability studies and specializations in design and visual communication, Colleen continued on to her master’s, to take advantage of MSU’s program focused on Environmental, Science, & Health journalism specifically. Stints as a social media intern with the Forest Service’s Northern Research Station, launching the online presence for the National Park Service’s Great Lakes Research & Education Center, and engaging volunteers in the Alliance for the Great Lakes’ Adopt-a-Beach program landed her at her previous position with the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, where she oversaw the full digital marketing strategy to determine how best to communicate her colleagues’ critical work in advancing decarbonization to quell climate change.

During her downtime, Colleen turns to creative outlets, like photo walks along the lakefront. She hopes her captures can serve as a reminder of the splendor in our surroundings, with the quiet caveat of what’s at stake. Colleen prefers to take a perspective of climate optimism, and brings that spirit to MiCAN, where she looks forward to elevating the voices of those most impacted by climate change in Michigan.
