TAKE ACTION
Sign the Petition Thanking Gov. Whitmer for taking meaningful action on climate.
Join us in thanking Gov. Whitmer for entering Michigan into the U.S. Climate Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of governors from 19 other states that have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement. We applaud this kind of bold action - it's exactly what Michigan needs to accelerate action on climate change.
Governor Whitmer:
Your directive to enter Michigan into the U.S. Climate Alliance is exactly what is needed to jumpstart Michigan's action to address the worse effects of a warming climate. We wholeheartedly thank you for taking this action and pledge to work with you to rapidly move Michigan towards a clean energy economy.
Thank you for working to protect our air, water, and land for us and future generations.

Miigwech to Gretchen Whitmer
Your action to create the new Office for Climate and Energy in Michigan thrills me. Hearing too, that you’ve entered Michigan into the US Climate Alliance doubly thrills me. Why? I am a reluctant activist on climate. And an energetic one. I am a backroom actuary who discovered the climate risk issue by accident a decade ago.
Since then I’ve become the foremost actuary on issues. I’ve spoken all across the US, a couple times internationally, and many times in Michigan. From doing so I know that a beginning is a delicate time and takes lots of energy to launch a new effort. I pledge to work with you to help you establish your office of Climate and Energy in any way I can. Thank you, and a thousand of my decendents thank you.
Sincerely,
