As many of you know I am very interested in green business and changing the way many Detroiters think about doing business within the city. I thought it may be a good idea to try to put together a list of the existing companies that we feel exude these principals so that we could better support them as we move toward the future. This is a current michigan guide but it misses many of the Detroit based businesses. http://www.coopamerica.org/pub s/greenpages/results.cfm?categ ory=&state=MI&keywords=&Input= Search "Green businesses: operate in ways that solve, rather than cause, both environmental and social problems. These businesses adopt principles, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life for their customers, their employees, communities, and the environment." Ones that I noticed it missed off the top of my head were: Avanti Press Avalon Bakery Architectural Salvage Warehouse Back Alley Bikes Gleaners Food Bank The Greening of Detroit Earthworks Detroit Recycle Here Please help list others...

Chrysler and General Motors--they did not leave their former factory sites to rot, they demolished those former facilities and cleaned the land. Chrysler built their new factory on the site of the old (Jefferson assy) and GM cleaned up the Cadillac Clark street plant site and is active in the redevelopment of that land. These are very expensive projects that are not mentioned very often. |
