SUMMARY:Waste In\, Methane Out: What Happens In A Modern Landfill?
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered what happens after the waste leaves your facility? Join us for a discussion on landfill management & environmental solutions. \nWoodland Meadows Recycling and Disposal Facility (RDF) is a regional facility that provides safe and convenient disposal services for communities\, businesses and industries serving Metro Detroit and surrounding areas. WM has invested millions of dollars to develop Woodland Meadows as a modern landfill with a state-of-the-art landfill gas collection and delivery system\, allowing them to harness the renewable energy potential of solid waste. \n\n\n\n\nContainment Design + Leachate Collection & Treatment\nWoodland Meadows RDF utilizes a containment system comprised of a 10 foot natural clay barrier with a 2-foot thick re-compacted clay liner or geo-synthetic clay liner (GCL)\, a 60-mil high density polyethylene (HDPE) liner\, a 16 ounce protective geotextile cushion and a leachate collection system. Leachate is managed onsite and is discharged to a local Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). \n\n\n\n\nLandfill Gas Management\nWoodland Meadows RDF collects and manages landfill gas through an extensive flare system\, which reduces emissions and minimizes odor. In addition\, methane is recovered from the landfill gas and used as fuel at a local auto assembly plant. \n\n\n\n\nPlease join us at WM’s Woodland Meadows facility for a discussion lead by Joe Read (District Manager at WM) on landfill management and processes\, sustainability ambitions\, renewable energy\, modern landfill engineering\, and more. PLUS take a tour of the landfill!! \nRegister today via Eventbrite >> https://WasteInMethaneOut.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:29th Annual Scholarship Program Golf Outing
DESCRIPTION:Play with Purpose: Fund the Future of Environmental Science\nJoin us for our Annual Scholarship Program Golf Outing to support the Environmental Excellence Scholarship Program\, helping students across Metro Detroit pursue futures in environmental science and engineering. \nThis impactful event directly funds scholarships awarded to participants in the Science & Engineering Fair of Metro Detroit\, specifically recognizing student projects focused on environmental science. \n28 Outings • $60\,000 in Awards\nSince launching the golf outing in 1997\, the EMA has proudly awarded over $60\,000 in student scholarships. Scholarship amounts are determined by funds raised through event participation\, sponsorships\, and on-course activities every year. Proceeds from the outing\, including raffles\, 50/50 drawings\, Vegas holes\, and novelty games\, go directly toward supporting the next generation of environmental innovators. \nScience Fair Benefactor Fund\nIn 2020\, EMA introduced the Science Fair Benefactor Fund\, providing businesses and individuals the opportunity to make a lasting impact by sponsoring scholarships for up to five years. This initiative allows benefactors to: \n\nHonor a legacy\, individual\, or environmental cause\nDirectly support student achievement in environmental science\nCollaborate with EMA on scholarship focus areas and project criteria\n\nThe inaugural benefactor\, the Doetsch family\, established the James Doetsch Memorial Science Fair Scholarship in 2021. Their generous five-year commitment significantly increased scholarship funding\, nearly doubling award amounts for participating students. \nWhy Your Support Matters\nWith the many ever-rising costs tied to education many students face financial barriers\, especially in demanding STEM fields like environmental science and engineering. Our mission is to reduce that burden and empower students who are passionate about environmental sustainability to continue their academic journeys. \nTurn Your Round into Real Impact\nBy participating in the EMA Golf Outing\, you’re not just enjoying a day on the course; you’re investing in the future of environmental stewardship. \nRegister\, sponsor\, or donate today to help support tomorrow’s environmental leaders.

SUMMARY:Food Waste Reduction: Tools for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Are you overlooking one of the most impactful waste reduction opportunities? Let’s talk about it!!\n“To stop food from going to waste\, we need to make changes across the whole food system. That means all of us – the home cooks\, the schools\, the businesses – need to use every solution possible.” – Danielle Todd (Executive Director\, Make Food Not Waste) \nCities and organizations are implementing Materials Management Plans (MMPs) to improve recycling\, composting\, and overall sustainability outcomes. Yet they often overlook one of the most impactful opportunities: reducing food waste. This discussion explores how businesses\, institutions\, and municipalities can take actionable steps to cut waste\, lower costs\, and strengthen a more resilient local economy. \nJoin us in conversation with Danielle Todd\, Executive Director of Make Food Not Waste for a discussion on reducing food waste and building more sustainable communities. Danielle is a leader in advancing practical strategies for waste reduction and circular economy initiatives\, helping EGLE create their Michigan Food Waste Roadmap to identify strategies to meet Michigan’s food waste reduction goal of 50% by 2030. \nGain insight into how everyday operational decisions—such as food purchasing\, inventory management\, composting\, and donation programs—cut waste. As a result\, they improve efficiency and strengthen brand reputation. Moreover\, organizations of all sizes—from small businesses to large school districts—adopt zero-waste practices. In turn\, they see measurable benefits. Similarly\, municipal leaders and sustainability professionals integrate food waste reduction into zero-waste and circular economy plans. Consequently\, they align these efforts with city-wide sustainability goals. \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\nProven strategies for reducing food waste in business and institutional settings\nHow food waste reduction supports circular economy and sustainability goals\nWays municipalities can implement zero waste programs at every level\nThe business case for waste reduction: cost savings\, efficiency\, and community impact\nPractical steps for organizations to become part of the food waste solution\n\nBe part of the movement toward smarter materials management and a more sustainable future\, starting with food.\n\n Register on Eventbrite >> FoodWasteReduction.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:Powering Communities: Building Partnerships for Electric Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of the electrification conversation here in Michigan with 2026 EAA Finalist Forth\nRegister via Eventbrite \nLearn how state & local transportation agencies can partner with stakeholders to design and deliver comprehensive electric transportation. \nThis workshop explores how Midwest communities are advancing clean\, affordable electric mobility through strategic partnerships\, effective community engagement\, and equitable planning. Drawing on real efforts\, such as bringing charging investments\, promoting multimodal decarbonization campaigns\, supporting municipalities through advocacy and resource-sharing\, and leveraging the national Towards Equitable Electric Mobility (TEEM) framework\, participants will learn how to shape electric transportation programs that reflect community needs and expand mobility options beyond EV ownership. The session will also highlight collaborative initiatives with utilities and local organizations to broaden education\, engagement\, and access\, offering a model that communities can adapt and integrate into their own electrification efforts. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nHow your community can benefit from clean\, affordable electric mobility\, including charging access\, multimodal options\, and decarbonization strategies.\nHow to meaningfully engage residents and partners\, using approaches that build trust and guide shared decision-making.\nBest practices for centering community needs from planning through implementation.\nWhere to find additional support and resources\, including TEEM guidance\, statewide networks\, and partner organizations
