This grant is for reducing the carbon footprint of tourism businesses, non-profit organizations, and private residents in Michigan’s Alger County. Its purpose is to mitigate negative impacts on National Park Service natural and cultural resources, specifically Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands National Lakeshores. This will be achieved through comprehensive community outreach, including educational presentations, various print and digital media, and a matching grant program. The grant component will support infrastructure greening and emissions output reductions. Community meetings, led by a climate change educator, will explain the links between climate change and national park resources, discussing diverse methods—behavioral, sociological, purchasing, transportation, and planning—to reduce carbon emissions. This initiative aims to foster sustainable practices and environmental stewardship within the community.
