GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Fifty businesses and organizations from around the state met in Grand Rapids on Thursday to hash out the best approaches for switching to clean energy.
It was the first year the Michigan Climate Action Summit has met and director Kate Madigan says she hopes the meeting will help move Michigan to a cleaner future, faster.
"We realized that a lot of people were doing different things about climate change or clean energy but weren't really connected, so we wanted to make a space where everyone was able to know what everyone else was doing and collaborate better," Madigan said.
Currently, most of Michigan is being fueled by natural gas or coal. These are considered limited resources becasue they could someday run out.
