Many people picked up a new hobby during the Covid-19 pandemic. For some, it was knitting. Others—sourdough starter.
But for Jocelyn Ho, a self-proclaimed “accidental entrepreneur,” it was growing rare plants.
Today, Ho has a flourishing business in the heart of Detroit, aptly named Rare Plant Fairy, where she and her 24-person team tend to, propagate, and even invent rare plant species.
But Ho’s care for the natural world doesn’t stop at the plants in her shop. “I have always been looking for a way to get clean energy. Nursey operations derive a lot of power… It does weigh heavily on me—how much power we draw, how big our carbon footprint is,” said Ho. “So, when we learned about DTE’s MIGreenPower, I was immediately on board.”
With the MIGreenPower program, DTE electric customers can attribute all or a portion of their power use to Michigan-made, renewable energy.
Every enrollment means more clean energy added to the grid, more Michigan jobs, and a lower carbon footprint overall, bringing us closer to our goal to make Michigan carbon neutral by 2050.
Businesses like Rare Plant Fairy thrive on being green. By enrolling in MIGreenPower, they’re helping the entire state of Michigan to do the same.
“If you care about the environment, you should consider joining MIGreenPower,” said Ho.
