We stand on the collective shoulders of Detroit’s environmental and environmental justice community
The organizations and individuals involved in this phase of creating a Detroit Environmental Agenda want to acknowledge that we work in collaboration with many other organizations and individuals who have a deep commitment to environmental justice and improving the environment in Detroit. Many organizations participated in the Environmental Summit on May 5, 2011, which was the springboard for the need for continued action and the impetus for developing a Detroit Environmental Agenda.
