3rd SUMMER ENVIRONMENTAL FILE: This is the last of three summer files of Michigan environmental stories in collaboration with Great Lakes Echo, the Journalism School’s environmental news service. Of course, CNS subscribing news organizations are free to continue using any of our other archived stories and visuals. Our regular weekly files will resume on Friday, Sept. 11.
HERE’S YOUR FILE:

That footprint includes the unsustainable practices that broke Michigan’s ecological budget. Michigan is among the top three states for resource abundance. By Kevin Duffy. FOR ALL POINTS.
