by Tina Musial, Tin : The answer is easy. We all need to live a little greener if we want our children and future generations to have any decent kind of life.

by Allen Wright, All : Now the details. Make sure you take the Michigan Merit Exam starting in grade 11 in high school. Why your junior year? If you score below a Level 2 in any of the required areas, you can retake the exam during grade 12 and make up the difference.
