Last September, Governor Whitmer announced a plan to make Michigan carbon-neutral by 2050, creating the MI Healthy Climate Plan. Now, the state wants to hear from you with ideas for how Michigan can reach its goal.

Register for the online listening session taking place on Wednesday, May 5, at 6pm here, and be sure to advocate for policies that promote plant-based diets.

Hope for Welfare Improvement in the Egg Industry |
|
New technology is being developed at universities and other research facilities that will identify the sex of a baby chick on the day the egg is laid. Currently, the egg industry kills approximately 6 billion day-old male chicks each year and the hope is to end this practice over the next five years. Please read VegMichigan's blog to learn more. |
