This week, regular host Ed Waisanen was joined by Missy Stults (Sustainability and Innovations Manager for the City of Ann Arbor) and Ryan Hughes (former Independent Candidate for Ann Arbor City Council and current host of Civics Party on WCBN) to talk about what Ann Arbor is doing about climate change.

Together, they dug into the Office of Sustainability and Innovation’s Work Plan, which includes some interesting and, indeed, innovative ways of reducing the City’s emissions and adapting to climate impacts like increasing high-heat days and precipitation. This description isn’t doing Missy’s passion and energy justice so you’re best-off just pressing “play.”

In our conversation, Missy also mentioned the Sustaining Ann Arbor Together Neighborhood Grant Program, which supports community projects that augment the Sustainability Action Plan, (perhaps even your own?) as well as a number of other ways to get involved beyond just recycling more.

Ryan also broke down the vote about whether to reallocate money for climate mitigation and adaptation, which was at the time of this recording upcoming and has now taken place.
