Secure Adequate and Sustainable State Funding for Environmental Protection and Conservation
Inadequate conservation funding undermines Michigan’s future. Michigan has a constitutional mandate to conserve and protect our incredible natural resources and to protect its citizens from toxic pollution. We must find a permanent and stable funding source that enables Michigan to invest in our environment and protect human health.
Take Action: Did you know that Michigan ranks 47th in the nation when it comes to investment in the protection of our natural resources? As the Governor and the legislature grapple with recombining the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), it is critical that the new department is properly funded. Please help us to encourage Governor Granholm to adequately fund the new department and protect our natural resources.
