Michigan families are facing rising electric bills, and our friends at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) are taking action.

Moonsail North recently supported NRDC, along with their partners Evergreen Action, at a press conference in Detroit, where Attorney General Dana Nessel and other advocates called for immediate reforms that could save the average Michigan household nearly $800 on electricity between 2027 and 2030.

We’re looking forward to working with NRDC on other important initiatives in the coming weeks!

Congrats to our friends at Kidango, who recently beautified their Ravenswood campus, their first child care center in San Mateo County, California, that will serve 300 children ages 0 to 5 once it opens.

As part of a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service event, Kidango staff planted trees to create a greener, healthier space for children to grow.

“When we nurture children with care, dignity, and love, we change the world,” said Scott Moore, CEO of Kidango. “These trees that we plant today, as they take root in the soil, represent all of our commitment to a better world.”

Learn more about the “green gap” — a lower percentage of tree coverage in lower-income areas compared to more affluent neighboring communities — and why centering “tree equity” at a child care center supports a healthier start to life.

We've had a LANtastic time working with our friends at Capital Region International Airport (LAN) on various digital and social media campaigns to support their limited-time flights to Cancun, Los Cabos, and Punta Cana.

Before you take flight, be sure to snap a photo near their main terminal entrance. We were proud to help with this newly installed design — it’s just “plane” perfect for a photo opp before your flight!

The Michigan Lakes and Streams Association (MLSA) is sporting a new visual identity that reflects their commitment to protecting Michigan’s inland waters for future generations!

#TeamMoonsail was thrilled to collaborate with this nonprofit to create a brand they’re proud to show off.

The layered shapes within the logo symbolize MLSA uniting forces to support, protect, and educate on the state’s beloved waterways. The vibrant colors convey the orange shades of a sunset sky over a lake — a symbol of community togetherness and shared appreciation for our beloved state. The lighter blue tone representing rivers and the darker blue tone representing lakes convey a sense of clean freshwater and tranquil waves touching the green land that embraces the waterways.
