Review for Isles, Inc., Trenton, NJ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I helped gut an abandoned warehouse for future multi-function use. Paying special attention to source separation for recycling reinforced the LEED Platinum goals. And the building will be a huge win-win-win for sustainable design, the community, and its residence. The mission of Isles pervaded everything about the project. And, oh yeah, smacking apart old concrete was a lot of fun!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Person!

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Inspiring. The head of the organization gives great 'pep talks' -- "The greenest building is the one you don't tear down."

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Turn every abandoned warehouse in NJ (and there are lots of them!) into useful, vital elements of their communities.
