Whether you realize it or not, you know Garret Ellison. That’s because he’s a top environmental journalist for Michigan and, arguably, the nation.
During his 13 years at MLive, Ellison has investigated PFAS in west Michigan's drinking water; the hazards of the Line 5 oil pipeline for the Great Lakes; and Nestle pumping water for pennies. His work garnered him Michigan Journalist of the Year and a national public notice reporting prize.
But Ellison’s also helps people make sense of rules, regulations, science and studies. He takes complex regional and statewide issues and makes them easy to understand. He brings out the personal, intimate, sometimes intrusive ways environmental injustice harms us and nature helps us.
Join Ellison and MEC President/CEO Conan Smith as they discuss the most personal, pertinent environmental news stories today and the importance of storytelling to create lasting change.
