D-YES at Power Shift
Apr 25th
On April 15th, students in WARM’s Detroit Youth Energy Squad (D-YES) stood alongside 10,000 youth gathered from around the country to voice their support for clean energy initiatives at the 2011 Power Shift conference in Washington, D.C. During the conference, D-YES crew member Miah Ward attended a meeting with President Obama to discuss current energy policies with the President. Students also led a workshop titled “The First Green Steps: Engaging People in Disadvantaged Communities.” All 19 D-YES crew members played a direct role in teaching over 100 attendees about low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy.

D-YES is an innovative program that trains high school students and AmeriCorps members between the ages of 16 and 24 to help low-income households reduce their energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. D-Yes is supported by funding from the Erb Family Foundation, the Michigan Public Service Commission, the National Audubon Society, and AmeriCorps.

Mar 15th
The Detroit Incinerator, which burns the vast majority of trash collected in the city of Detroit, as well as from several surrounding communities, is applying for a brownfield tax credit of $4.195 million.
The City of Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority will host public hearings Thursday on the Brownfield Tax Credit for the Detroit incinerator.
An informational session will be held at 5:30 p.m. The hearing on Detroit Thermal, which would purchase steam from the incinerator, begins at 6 p.m. and will be followed at 6:30 p.m. by a hearing on the incinerator, to be owned by Detroit Renewable Energy.
The meetings will be held at the College for Creative Studies in the Walter B. Ford Classroom Building Auditorium on Frederick Douglass Street, between Brush and St. Antoine.
