KALAMAZOO, Mich. From drinking water and air quality to renewable energy, environmental policy decisions impact every facet of our lives. Instead of just learning about the impacts, a group of Western Michigan University students got the opportunity to urge lawmakers to take action. It was an experience I ve never had before, says
Mitchell Denolf, a senior from Grand Rapids, Michigan, studying integrated supply management. I ve been to some town council meetings when I was younger but never had the opportunity to actually have that back-and-forth discussion with a representative myself.
A screenshot from the town hall discussion with legislators.
