We’re calling on Governor Snyder  to show leadership and protect Michigan ratepayers and our environment by becoming a champion for energy efficiency.  Will you join us?

Energy efficiency programs save people money and shrink carbon footprints by helping customers reduce their need for electricity. The best ways for us to help Michiganders improve their energy efficiency is with programs that incentivize home weatherization, mechanical and lighting improvements, and upgrading to energy efficient appliances. These programs reduce utility bills, improve property values, and create thousands of skilled jobs in every corner of the state.

We often don’t know if a child’s product contains cadmium, formaldehyde, or toxic flame retardants. Our power as consumers is limited because we aren’t given access to this information. Luckily, just before the holidays, Senator Rebekah Warren (D-Ann Arbor) gave us an early gift by introducing the Safe Children’s Products Act, a bill that will protect children from toxic chemicals in children’s products. 

Let’s start the year off right by limiting our families’ exposure toxic chemicals!

constructing a healthier future

As the workhorse of our economy, diesel engines, especially construction equipment, will play a major role in building the next generation of infrastructure projects in our communities. However, without filters, pollution from diesel construction equipment poses a serious threat  to communities and project workers alike.   However, solutions like Diesel Particulate Filters are available to drastically reduce diesel pollution while supporting jobs in the manufacturing sector.

wolervine power can do better than dirty coal

Wolverine Power Cooperative, Inc.  is poised to start construction on a huge coal-fired power plant in Rogers City.  According to the Michigan Public Service Commission, the Wolverine Power Cooperative does not need this plant and building it would cause the utility to raise rates by an average of $77 each month. Updated estimates put that cost considerably higher. These higher costs would also be forced on customers of Wolverine’s member cooperatives: Cherryland, Great Lakes, HomeWorks and Presque Isle Electric & Gas Cooperatives.
