In February 2025, two children died of carbon monoxide toxicity in a Detroit casino parking garage. The tragedy underscores the urgent need for housing solutions as the city grapples with a record high number of homeless children.
What happens when someone's actually watching.
Planet Detroit is three reporters covering the environmental stories no one else will — no paywall, no corporate owner, no ads. This year, we exposed a decade-long fluoride cover-up in Wyandotte, were the only newsroom at the Zug Island air pollution trial, and broke the data center investigations that reached the Washington Post and the LA Times.
Reader support is how we stay here. A gift of any size — one-time or monthly — keeps someone watching.
