Hi,

You have a typo in the t-shirt section, it says Patagoina instead of Patagonia. Your website is beautiful, and your org has a very impressive list of members. I pretend I still live in Okemos when I sign your stuff. I’m now president of 350 Silicon Valley. Thanks for your good work.

In a post on Facebook you refer to a 1% cap on rooftop solar in Michigan, but you do not explain at all what it is. There certainly is no law that says only 1% of homeowners can install solar collectors. Does it have to do with net metering, or what? You really need to explain this better when you post something like this and ask people to sign a petition. I did not sign it because it was so unclear to me what you are talking about. (My household makes all the electricity we use from solar, so please don’t misunderstand my sympathies here.)

Hello, MCAN!


My name is Christian. I’m a freelance videographer working on a documentary exploring the impacts of climate change in Michigan. I am looking for contacts in the climate action space who could advise me of the important topics and issues I should cover in this film. Are there individuals within the MCAN network you could connect me with to point me in the right direction? If anyone reading has leads or would like to contribute, please let me know!

I am part of a recent group of natural resource professionals promoting biochar as a local soil amendment. I serve as the District Forester for the Leelanau, Benzie and Grand Traverse Conservation Districts and the others on the new team are looking for collaboration with other local environmental groups interested in local responses and action to mitigate the stressors of climate change for the ag community and forest landowners. We wondered if we could connect with your group and share our thoughts on using waste from our forests and orchards to produce biochar as a great way to improve our sustainable practices.

Hello, the Muskegon Green Party is seeking speakers for our “2021 Speaker Series.” The people in our commumities would be directly benefitted by any information shared by your organization. Let us know if this is of interest to your group. We currently have openings for April and May.

I am the CFO at United Way of Washtenaw County, MI, and have a donor that would like to send you funding. A search of Guidestar and the IRS nonprofit search tool does not return any information regarding your tax exempt status. Please forward me your tax exempt status notification that includes your tax i.d. so I can process this funding.

My name is Brandi Crawford-Johnson and I’m fighting for environmental justice for my community in Kalamazoo. One of our polluters, Graphic Packaging International is being allowed to expand next to our fence line community despite hundreds of air complaints. The city is cutting down 721 trees for this polluter. EGLE approved a permit for them to increase their greenhouse emissions by 221%. This will affect all Michiganders. We must fight against this!

Hey you all at MCAN please STOP using fossil fuels every day you flaming HYPOCRITES – because climate change no more heat and stop driving and stop flying and turn off the lights you hypocrites and no phones.

Send orders to creation and address climate concerns. A detailed report with your facts, data and Documentation.. I’m assuming theres a criteria you have to meet prior to establishing a infinite connection to Creation. I suggest teaming up around the world …100%

News from DeepGreen Metals Inc, Vancouver:

Research shows up to 90% carbon footprint reduction for critical minerals for electric vehicle batteries when sourcing them from deep-sea polymetallic nodules compared to conventionally mined land ores

Polymetallic nodules from the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) of the Pacific Ocean contain rich concentrations of four metals required for EVs in a single ore, including nickel, a crucial ingredient in EV batteries, which will increasingly be mined from beneath large forested carbon sinks in tropical areas like Indonesia and the Philippines

As governments scramble to secure supplies of critical minerals to build renewable infrastructure, the paper analyzes the planetary-scale and full lifecycle climate impacts of producing these metals

Hi,

My name is Nicole and I was reaching out to see if MiCAN has any job openings that you’re looking to fill right now. I’m a recent graduate with a bachelors degree in environmental science, and a Michigan native. I’m really passionate about climate change science and policy, as well as environmental justice. I’ve been an individual member of MiCAN for a while, and I would love to apply with my full resume and any additional information if you have any positions open. Please let me know if you have any opportunities for me.


Thank you for your time,

Nicole

Hi, I’m the events coordinator for the University of New Mexico Press. I’m looking for opportunities for virtual lectures with author and NMU professor James McCommons about his latest book Camera Hunter: George Shiras III and the Birth of Wildlife Photography sometime in the fall. I’m writing to see if Michigan Climate Action Network would be interested in co-hosting.


If you’re interested, all that would be entailed is a helping us publicize the event to your members and possibly supplying someone to lead a virtual discussion about the book with Jim. Ideally this would be in conjunction with a Michigan bookstore that can host on Zoom or Facebook Live.


I can send a physical copy or digital PDF of the book to anyone who would want to participate. You can learn more about the book at the link below, which chronicles the environmental and photographic contributions of Shiras, a Michigan lawyer, conservationist, and photographer who innovated nighttime photography and worked with Roosevelt to pass important environmental legislation.

Thanks for your time, and let me know if you have any interest or questions.

Director of the Michigan Climate Action Network Kate Madigan stated to Northern Express that “Five-hundred-year storms are happening every few years”. Without citing any evidence, this is a totally baseless claim. What is the basis of this statement? Is she referencing any documented events? If so, what are they? What is the tangible rationale for her claim – that is being used to support and “substantiate” her position?


If one is taking a position, that uses actual science and evidence, that individual needs to be able to back up their statements with that data. I suspect that no such evidence has been researched, vetted, or in any way confirmed as an actual and indisputable fact. So unless I get a response that can reliably refute MY suspicions and doubt, she is simply making stuff up to scare readers and gullible minds into following her group-think lies.


Prove it. I dare you to even try.

Please advise if it possible to share and listen again to “After the Flood” ?

I am inquiring about the email of the executive director, if you could provide me with this information I would appreciate it!

Hello!


We are 350 Chequamegon Bay, a relatively new branch of 350.org in the Chequamegon Bay region of northern Wisconsin, along the shore of Lake Superior. As you are probably aware, the Bad River Tribe has sued to remove Enbridge Line 5 from their reservation and Enbridge is planning a reroute around the reservation, but still within the same watershed. The Wisconsin Public Services Commission (PSC) has the power to approve or deny eminent domain for the project. In an effort to prevent this expansion, we have started a petition to request that the Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC) hold a full hearing before they allow the Enbridge Line 5 expansion. We were hoping you could promote this petition, and/or share it with any other relevant groups in your area. We have until June 10 to collect signatures.


Petition Link: http://chng.it/XNzQWdZSZC

Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/890564084690220/


Petition Language: "We love and depend on clean water. Our rivers and lakes are a vital economic and cultural resource. We depend on them for drinking water, wild rice, tourism, fishing, boating, recreation, and much more. So why would we allow the construction of a new pipeline—and the risk of an oil spill in these waters—to threaten our economy and our way of life? YOU can help protect your watershed by signing this petition and asking the PSC to conduct a full and fair administrative hearing (known as a “proceeding”) in response to Enbridge’s application for a public interest determination. A proceeding would allow for expert testimony and more opportunities for public input.


SHOULD A FOREIGN COMPANY BE ALLOWED TO CONDEMN AND TAKE OUR LANDS?


Early in May, the Wisconsin PSC opened an investigation into an Enbridge application which asks for permission to condemn land (i.e., take without a property owner’s consent) in their efforts to create a new segment of a hazardous liquid pipeline known as Line 5. To allow Enbridge the power to exercise eminent domain and condemn land, the PSC will have to determine that this pipeline is in the “public interest.” Line 5 transports crude oil from Canada, through the United States, and exits in Canada. It provides NO value to Wisconsin and indeed, offers only extreme risk to the environment and our economy."


Best,

I really resent the email from Kate Madigan, from your organization, claiming that “murders of georgie Floyd, Breonna Taylor,” and others “often at the hands of the police”.. oh- you didn’t see the police cars burned, police man ran over and innocent business bystanders murdered ?? at the hands of those rioting?? You oppose the president of the United States who is trying to make America safe?? What are the democratic governors doing about the riots? watching? Kate talks about “White Supremacist System”- oh, you mean rich democratic politicians paying for those rioting? What is Biden saying now for his win to presidency??? Might want to get some FACTS and TRUTH about what is going on before you start spewing false accusations. DON"T ever email me again!!

I just saw an article about Kate Madigan/ MIcan’s opposition to DTE’s IRP. I have a residential efficiency idea that reduces fossil fuel use and creates unsubsidized local green jobs.

Hi Michigan Climate Action Network,


I hope you are staying safe and healthy in these uncertain times.


For this past Earth Day, I released a song about climate change action called “Coffee.” Just yesterday, the official music video was released, which features quotes and facts about climate change as well as stunning photography from nature and wildlife photographers around the world.


I would love for you to share the video. You can view it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx4tTZwe58k
