We can’t provide affordable housing and we are wasting valuable resources on attempting to affect climate worldwide. China is building 2coal fired power plants per week. You have lost the ability to understand basic science. It is not settled science, the loudest voice does not insure validity.

Hello!


Did you know that going paperless can bring more benefits to businesses besides being eco-friendly? With enhanced collaboration, faster payment processing, and reduced costs, it’s no wonder that companies of all sizes are adopting this trend.


As remote and flexible working arrangements become increasingly popular, businesses need to prioritize implementing paperless processes. That’s why I would like to share a guest article with you and your site visitors that delves into the advantages of going paperless. It will also outline the steps businesses can take to transition to a paperless system.


I believe this piece would be a valuable addition to your existing content. I welcome your thoughts on this matter.


Best,

Hi! Denise Keele came to talk with us Feb. 18 at People’s Church in Kalamazoo. She showed a stat about folks who “believe” climate change is human caused, and I was encouraged to see how few folks disagreed with the statement. Is there a way to share the slide with me, or the percentages/where the data is located? Thanks, in advance, if it is possible. I’m excited to get involved and learn more.

Hi there,


As an avid enthusiast of agriculture and a small-scale farmer myself, I have first-hand experience in navigating the challenges and opportunities that come with turning a small farm into a thriving business venture. Would you be interested in a guest post for your website about transforming a small farm into a sustainable source of income?


In this article, I intend to explore various strategies and practical tips that can inspire and guide aspiring farmers. I will cover topics like financing and acquiring land, developing production plans, and exploring alternative revenue sources like partnering with solar energy initiatives.


Please let me know if this topic aligns with your content strategy and if you are interested in featuring it. I’m open to any guidelines or specifications you may have regarding content length, tone, or formatting.


Thank you very much,

Carrie Spencer

Greetings,


While gardens that yield flowers and greenery are certainly wonderful, why not create a landscape that serves as both a visual delight and a source of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs throughout the year?


I’m keen on crafting a blog article for your website, one that offers your readers guidance on creating an edible landscape that marries practicality with beauty. From handpicking suitable plants to conceptualizing the garden’s arrangement, I intend to encompass all the essential insights required for fashioning a backyard haven brimming with delectable produce.


Would you be open to the idea of featuring this piece on your website?


I truly appreciate your thoughtful consideration!

Hello there!


Would you be interested in publishing an article on your website about the benefits and drawbacks of starting a franchise?


For new business owners, it can be a terrific place to start, but it’s vital to understand the ins and outs well before spending time and money.


Please let me know if you are interested.


Thank you very much!

Dear friends at MI Climate Action Network, we, volunteers of Creative Society, would like to present a climate presentation for everyone interested to learn more about progression of events that are happening and share our independent research of 27 years and public data and what it all means for us here in Michigan, USA and the world. The presentation can be conducted on site or we can do it via zoom. Please email us at [email protected] to chat more about organization of it.

there’s a problem with the environmental justice sign on page – it wouldn’t take my country info (United States), and wouldn’t allow me to sign.

Hello,


I’m the chair of Washtenaw Climate Reality, the local chapter of the Climate Reality Project. We are holding a virtual Climate Action Party on Monday, October 2 at 7 PM. We will be sending messages to Michigan state legislators and to media oiutlets encouraging them to support the bills that are part of the Michigan Clean Energy Future package. We would love to have the MiCAN as a sponsoring party to the event. We would just need your OK and a copy of your logo and we would add it to the invitation. More importantly, though, we would like for the event to be publicized among MiCAN’s followers in whatever way you typically publicize these kinds of things. I will link you to the event below:

When I googled my name it came up as being affiliated with the CAN.

While I support your efforts ideologically I have no concrete affiliations with CAN and would like you to remove the Google post/ website affiliation immediately.

I appreciate all you are doing, but my question is — where are you with regard to the Marshall megasite and the horrible damage being done there to the land, air, water, and future of the area? Hundreds of trees torn from the land, top soil stripped, asphalt and concrete being laid, wastewater ponds being dug and the precious, fragile Kalamazoo River beside it all.

I registered for the June 2 conference. I requested a link for virtual attendance but did not receive it. Please send it.

Hello, I am looking for ride sharing info. Can you direct me to a site or list? Thank you.

Hello there,


According to this study**, 89 percent of home buyers prefer environmentally friendly homes. As it appears that more people are becoming environmentally conscious, there is a high demand for environmentally friendly home features and sustainable housing.


I’d like to contribute an article about starting and growing a green-building company that you could consider posting on your site. People may be interested in this topic because it is a real estate sector that has become very profitable for those looking to enter the construction and contracting industries.


Your thoughts? Please let me know if you’re interested in this article, and I’ll get it to you as soon as possible.


Thank you!

Hi Friends: The Climate Witness Project’s advocacy arm (GRAAT) is developing our legislative priorities for the next 2 years. Have you guys at MCAN articulated your legislative agenda?


Thanks!

I am getting my chops up in the world of Michigan environmental policy and your podcast “Speaking of Resilience” has been an invaluable asset. I am so sad that there are no more episodes! I have now listened to every episode and am dying for more. I absolutely love Kate’s work and would love it if there were more episodes! I love all that you do- thank you!

I’m currently in escanaba upper peninsula michigan enjoying the sights and planning my move in travel through ushud department housing. I would also like to collaborate with brand and also Sponsorship/influencer opportunities. Dwayne Triplett jr thank you

We need to get to Net Zero quickly, but we need to make sure our changes are scalable and affordable. Electrification is great, but is not scalable because we are already running out of cheap copper. This organization should look into other non-copper based renewable energies like Methanol Economy that use our existing liquid fuel infrastructure and can ramp up vast quantities of renewable energy without causing more infrastructure costs and inflation in our economy.


We also need to make this a global activity. The US is already leading in renewable energy in the world. But it is the growth of fossil fuel energy usage in the 3rd world that is the problem with increased fossil fuel usage on this planet. Like the Panama Canal, we need to invest in growth of vast solar thermal renewable energy projects in Peru and Chile that have the unused land and the solar intensity to produce renewable energy cheaper than fossil fuel production.

Hello! My name is Karina Prieto and I am a Journalism student at MSU. I am currently working on a story for my JRN 200 class and I am wondering if there is anyone in your organization who would be available for a very quick phone interview.


The story is about how the CEO of the clothing brand Patagonia donated the entire $3billion of the company to help fight climate change. If you are unfamiliar with this story, here is the original story link: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/patagonia-donates-its-entire-3-billion-estimated-worth-to-fighting-climate-change/


This is not a super formal or pressing interview. It would maybe take 10 minutes. I reached out because I thought someone may be able to offer some valuable insight on the impact this could have on the world and our community and to even talk about how important climate change really is.


(This story won’t be published anywhere. It is just an assignment for practice).


I hope to hear back soon.


Blessings,

Karina Prieto
