Climate Change

The Issue

Greenhouse gases -- carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide -- generated from the use of fossil fuels by human activities are warming our World and accelerating climate change. 

In the Lansing area, the major impacts of climate change will be the increasing incidence and damage of flooding as well as extreme weather events, particularly much higher and lower temperatures.

What We’ve Done

  • After advocacy by EAG members, The Ingham County Commissioners passed a resolution to reactivate the Environmental Affairs Commission and a Commitment to Climate Justice. (4/21)

  • We presented the LWVLA Board with a climate emergency resolution  that passed unanimously (2019). The Ingham County Commissioners  passed the resolution on 7/28/2020
