Move on Climate, Move to Michigan
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Revolutionize
In Michigan, climate action is much more than curbside recycling or changing out incandescent lightbulbs (as proud as we are of our progress so far). To us, climate action means supporting the holistic well being of everyone and working together to make Michigan the best place to call home.
Whether it be empowering innovative and regenerative climate solutions, dismantling systemic barriers to economic opportunities, or conserving natural resources, Michigan is an emerging climate leader: a beacon of hope against climate change for the world. No matter who you are or what you aspire to do, Michigan is working to ensure climate change doesn’t get in the way of your quality of life.
If you’re looking to be on the forefront on climate action, come to Michigan!
