Beginning in the late 1800s, Michigan built a national reputation for leadership in conservation and environmental protection. During the 1990s, state policies often departed from that tradition and betrayed the obligation of public officials to protect the air, water, land and other natural resources for this and future generations. Now citizens have a chance to insist that the Governor, legislators and appointed officials in state government rise to the challenge. MEC has launched an environmental history project to tell the story of Michigan's past environmental leadership and to inspire a new generation of Michigan citizens.
