The virtual Michigan Climate & Clean Energy Summit in May, co-led by Jim Lively, of Groundwork, and Kate Madigan, of Michigan Climate Action Network, was all about making that needed change, with 70 speakers, 400 attendees. Fourteen sessions can now be reviewed online at MiClimateCleanEnergy.org/recordings.

            For 25 years, Groundwork has empowered people who want to be part of creating a better Michigan with innovative, local-based solutions that create a clean environment, strong economy and healthy community. They envision a state with a strong and diversified economy that offers opportunities for people from all walks of life: new jobs throughout the state in clean energy and agriculture; towns and cities that are vibrant, exciting centers of community, arts, culture and commerce, and more options to get around with a diverse transportation infrastructure that makes it easy to choose walking, biking, public transit, or access to a well-maintained road network.

Groundwork is headquartered at 148 E. Front St., Ste. 301, Traverse City. For more information, call 231-941-6584 or visit GroundworkCenter.org.
