Solutions to our environmental challenges were presented by Ann Arbor organizations to the WCC community as part of our Earth Day celebration on Thursday, April 12.

Both individual and system-wide actions were presented at the celebration. Attendees learned to cut down on expenses and their carbon footprint by taking alternative transport like biking, busing or walking.

Taking aim at government, tips were presented on building community and influencing congress to take action on green legislation.
