Moral Economy Project Symposium and Outreach

Greenbridge Developments aims to develop a new kind of community in existing neighborhoods that promotes human and ecological health. A community that restores the air, water, and soil on which life depends, and contributes to the quality, diversity, vitality, and prosperity of its neighbors. An essential component to this will be to embrace new construction methods, innovative renewable building materials, and forward-thinking renewable energy strategies capable of restoring our relationship to the planet.

The inspiration behind Greenbridge Developments lies in the approach articulated by William McDonough and Michael Braungart in their 2002 book, Cradle to Cradle. Contrary to cradle-to-grave patterns that make, take, and waste-cradle-to-cradle harnesses the earth's interdependent systems to nourish one process with the "waste" from another, and rely on an eternally renewing flow of resources.
