Sustainable Jersey has named Gray Russell as the organization’s June 2015 “Sustainability Hero.” Russel has served as Montclair’s Sustainability Officer for the past 14 years. Each month a “hero” is recognized for their extraordinary work on behalf of the environment.

Gray is changing the world around him in important ways and on a grand scale. He is such an unassuming person that there is a lot that might surprise one about Gray’s accomplishments in his 25-year career as an environmental professional. But to those people who know and work with him, he is definitely the resident expert and a man of action for all things sustainable. Montclair is a “town of firsts” for sustainability initiatives, thanks to his vision.
