- Randy Essex talks with Kirk Heinze on WJR
Randy Essex is deputy managing editor at the Free Press and director of the Michigan Green Leaders program.
"Among our 16 green leaders for 2011 are Grand Rapids furniture maker Steelcase," Essex says. "We're honoring Chevy Volt battery maker LG Chem and Michigan Green Safe Products."
Other honorees include Henry Ford's West Bloomfield Hospital, Meadowlark Builders, Michigan Interfaith Power and Light's Reverend Charles Morris along with former Governor William Milliken and Representative John Dingell.
"There's a range of really neat and inspiring stuff going on," Essex says. "It's not just about businesses saving money or doing the right thing, but also trying to pass it on and reach backward in its supply chain and forward to what it leaves behind."
On April 21, the leaders will be honored at an awards breakfast at DTE Energy's Town Square headquarters, and Gov. Snyder will be the keynote speaker at the awards breakfast.
