ICYMI: Why carbon fundamentalism won’t solve climate change in Michigan

Planet Detroit’s managing editor Nina Ignaczak spoke with Michelle Martinez, inaugural director of the Tishman Center for Social and Environmental Justice at the University of Michigan’s School for Environment & Sustainability. Martinez has 15 years of experience of practicing environmental justice in her hometown Detroit. Most recently she served as Executive Director of the Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition; she is a founding member of the Coalition and continues to serve on the board. Michelle also serves on the Board of Directors of We the People Michigan, and is a contributing columnist to Planet Detroit, an online publication serving Detroit audiences with climate and environmental news.

We spoke about climate change, carbon justice, and how a “carbon fundamentalist” approach will only get us so far in the fight against climate change.

  • Moderated by Nina Ignaczak, Editor, Planet Detroit and Michigan Climate News
