OUR SERVICES
WHO WE ARE
The Environmental Consulting Organization at UM is the leading sustainability consulting organization at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. With a primary focus on the environment and sustainable business practices, we help businesses across the Southeastern Michigan area and the broader United States implement more sustainable practices, craft solutions to broader business problems, and research
trends in the future green economy.
WHAT WE DO
We provide several different services, and we pride ourselves on being able to assist a number of different
organizations. We've worked with zero-waste nonprofits, the city government, the University of Michigan, and local fashion retail and restaurant businesses. We've hosted a campus-wide week-long event for zero waste, held public information meetings on green transportation, and created an interactive heatmap of the UM campus to show energy trends. Our mission is to help implement more sustainable practices, and we are dedicated to realizing this vision for our clients.

Marketing and Communications
-
Branding content creation for strengthening environmental messaging
-
Product value communication through surveys and research
Example of Work: We’ve created flyers about our clients products (for example, we’ve made information sheets about an electric bike company in Ann Arbor we consulted for). We’ve also helped organize a demonstration event for that company, and promoted their services to groups in the housing industry, food delivery industry, and to the local Ann Arbor government which had a strong interest to make electric bikes more freely accessible
GREEN REVIVAL
We are working with Green Revival to conduct an in-depth market analysis of the Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Bay Area counties. Identifying crucial agricultural and landscaping operations producing large quantities of biomass waste, we can help connect with the company Takachar to convert this waste into activated renewable energy sources and sustainable products. We are essentially aiding in establishing a core foundation for Green Revival’s business operations and network. Additionally, our analysts are working to create a website and get in contact with researchers at the University of Michigan for Green Revival to expand upon the growing invasive species and biomass research sector.

VOTE CLIMATE US PAC
We are working with Vote Climate U.S. PAC to update and complete their 2024 Voter’s Guide, a unique resource which provides a Climate Calculation for every incumbent and challenger in the United States House, Senate, Gubernatorial, and Presidential races. By conducting thorough research on the positions and demonstrated action of every candidate, we can help enable voters to make the most informed choices and support them with resources to learn more. We also aim to expand the reach of the Voter’s Guide and empower more voters to use this resource.
