Stormwater utilities aren't exactly sexy topics for the average reader but in the grand scheme of life their policies have a huge impact on both the environment and our daily lives. Ann Arbor's approach to storm water issues are the subject of a green-minded blog and the verdict is pretty darn favorable.
Excerpt:
"Climate change road trippers and recent University of Michigan grads Kirsten Howard and Allie Goldstein recently returned to Ann Arbor to learn more about the city’s stormwater utility.
The agency manages the stormwater that accumulates and picks up pollutants after heavy rainfall.
Howard and Goldstein have been traveling and blogging about how U.S. cities are adjusting to climate change. Now they’ve found successful adaptation in their own college town, where the inspiration for their trip began."
