“I don’t consider myself an environmentalist. I’m not a member of the Sierra Clob or Greenpeace,” says Rick MacKay, a partner and designer of air-pollution control systems at Caldwell-MacKay Co. Inc.
Environmentalist or not, MacKay knows he and partner Dan Caldwell are making a difference in people’s lives and the environment. MacKay’s ethic was shaped by something he once heard in a speech.
“I went to an environmental seminar once and the speaker said, ‘Raise a child correctly. Plant a hardwood tree. And Leave the world a better place.’ I’ve done all that, and if that makes me an environmentalist, then I guess I am.”
