BETHESDA, Md., March 6, 2025 /3BL/ – Tandem Global is offering a new white paper, Sustainable Green Infrastructure | Unlocking Business Value, Biodiversity Gains, and Community Benefits, for download today. This white paper is sponsored by DTE Energy. 

Conventional urban and industrial infrastructure poses a threat to the environment and pollutes our precious resources. As urban centers and industrial sites continue to grow, it is imperative that we take steps in mitigating our impact on surrounding ecosystems. Corporations who own land and industrial sites can proactively uphold waterways, soil health, and air quality standards while sustaining productivity levels. By embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, we can balance the relationship between industry and conservation while promoting a healthier, more enjoyable planet.

Green infrastructure projects provide creative solutions to many of these urban and industrial environmental challenges. In fact, many green infrastructure projects have already proven to be successful additions to company sites. The case studies featured in this white paper illustrate the co-benefits of green infrastructure by not only providing cost-effective access to critical infrastructure but also uplifting biodiversity and supporting community needs.

Featured case studies include:

BlueTriton Brands, Twin Creek Nature Area: Evart, Michigan, U.S.AGeneral Motors, Chevrolet Boulevard: São Jose, BrazilMEG Energy, Christina Lake Regional Project: Alberta, CanadaToyota North America, Ann Arbor Woodridge Campus: Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.AWetland Studies and Solutions, Headquarters: Gainesville, Virginia, U.S.A

Sponsored by DTE Energy, this white paper features a foreword Shawn Patterson, Vice President of Environmental Management and Safety, DTE Energy. He states, “Nature-based solutions are the way of the future, and DTE is committed to doing the vital work of protecting our environment and our communities, while powering a cleaner tomorrow for all.”

In part one of this three part series, we explore how ScottsMiracle-Gro and The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation partnered with Columbus City Schools and The Ohio State University Extension for a gardening program, which led to students trying new, fresh foods and recipes.

The magic that grows as kids discover gardening

Our purpose to GroMoreGood takes many forms. One of those special moments happened with Columbus City Schools in Ohio, where the magic of a single idea blossomed beyond its original intent and became something bigger, something greater. The growth journey of the Columbus City Schools program epitomizes GroMoreGood. A new generation of kids is developing a lifelong connection to the earth.

The idea 
Early in her career, school teacher Katie Young had a writing assignment for her students that was based on a simple question: Do you know where food comes from? Not one of the students answered that it comes from the earth. Katie knew this had to change. 

In 2018, the Columbus City Schools Farm to School program was born in partnership with ScottsMiracle-Gro, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation and The Ohio State University Extension. Teachers were given tools and Miracle-Gro supplies to teach kids how to create, tend to and harvest gardens full of fresh vegetables.

Starting to grow 
The initial group of teachers embraced the program, and students did, too. Soon, more schools and teachers were brought into the program, and it started delivering results that exceeded all original expectations.

Benefits beyond expectations 
Students experienced mental health benefits from touching the dirt and taking care of the plants on a regular basis. 

High school students talked about the therapeutic aspect of gardening and the way working with plants brought them a sense of peace. 

Another group of students created ways to invite the community to participate in the gardens, which went beyond the classroom. 

While elementary school students discovered that fresh foods are delicious, sometimes on their own and sometimes when added to a smoothie or pizza!
