ReUse Center
The ReUse Center was the first program developed by The Green Institute. By selling salvaged building materials and green product lines, the ReUse Center is now located in Maplewood, an online catalog of its inventory and a workforce training component in carpentry and business operations. The ReUse Program diverts an estimated 400 tons of reusable building material from landfills every year.
Minnesota GreenStar
The Green Institute incubated and helped to launch Minnesota GreenStar, regionally-appropriate green building guidelines. Minnesota GreenStar is now reviewing projects and expanding its reach by making public presentations metro-wide on the merits of remodeling/building homes, which are energy efficient, conserve water, minimize site disturbance, use resources effectively, and maintain a high level of indoor air quality.
