Meet the new host of "Issues of the Environment." You know her as a former state Representative and former state Senator from Ann Arbor. Rebekah Warren served as chair of the House Great Lakes and Environment committee and in a number of other environmental leadership roles. Since leaving office, Rebekah has founded, and is President and CEO of Adaptive Strategics, which puts environmental issues front and center. Now, she will steward the conversations about our environment, right here in Washtenaw County. For his last go-round as host, WEMU's David Fair sat down with Rebekah Warren and talked about the future of "Issues of the Environment."

It's a special fundraising edition of "1st Friday Focus on the Environment." For a final time, WEMU's David Fair co-hosts this segment. He's joined by his co-host of more than 25 years, Lisa Wozniak from the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. And they're also joined by the original co-host and co-founder of 1st Fridays, Lana Pollack, the former state Senator from Ann Arbor, President of the Michigan Environmental Council and U.S Chair of the International Joint Commission.

We are a country divided. The tone and tenor of political discourse is divisive, mean-spirited and the business of effectively legislating is being compromised. An event in Lansing on Wednesday will bring together the four living former Michigan governors to call for a more civil approach to governing and in how we interact in our communities. Republicans John Engler and Rick Snyder will join Democrats Jim Blanchard and Jennifer Granholm to ask that we turn the political temperature down, so problems can be solved in a civil manner. WEMU's David Fair was joined by one of the organizers of the event, Rebekah Warren. She is a former Ann Arbor State Senator, who now co-leads a bi-partisan group called Michiganders for Civic Resilience.
