There's a trend among cities to compete for who can get to 100% renewable energy the fastest. Grand Rapids has set a goal of 100% renewable energy by 2020 (http://grcity.us/enterprise-services/officeofenergyandsustainability/Pages/Energy.aspx). Lansing should not be left behind. Greener communities are happier and healthier communities (https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=greener%20communities%20are%20happier%20and%20healthier and/or https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=greener+communities+are+happier+and+healthier&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C23&as_sdtp=). Happier and healthier people are more productive. The transition to a less polluting lifestyle will take much work and effort, but this is fantastic for jobs overall and for any economy that tries to tackle it.
