Common Groundwater
Michigan is defined by the Great Lakes that surround it. But there's a so-called sixth lake that’s critical to our state, too: our groundwater. It flows deeply through every community and to every corner of our peninsulas. Yet, we have so much more to learn about this natural feature.
Like groundwater, this podcast aims to reach across our state and reveal deeply nuanced stories of environmental threats and solutions through a lens of humanity. We go beyond the headlines to show you something grand yet personal to us all.

Have a Haven? - Project Greenprint
Michigan's in a bit of an odd place. It's considered a climate haven, a place that can protect people from the worst of climate change. But its literal havens—our homes—are causing problems. They're old, expensive, elusive and, in fact, causing climate change. In Episode 1 of our four-part Project Greenprint miniseries, Crain's Detroit Business reporter (and Detroiter) Nick Manes joins us to talk about the state of housing and how it serves as both a problem and a solution to our state.
