Mission

GreenWeaver Inc. was founded to empower people to be effective weavers of a new path forward- individually, collectively, in design teams and in communities of various scales.

Winston Churchill once said, “We shape our buildings and afterward, our buildings shape us.” The built environment is an element of our lives which has always been deeply interwoven with our social, economic, and environmental relationships, our communities, our sense of who we are, what we value and our sense of beauty. It is one of many leverage points for change and healing on a wide variety of levels.

Through GreenWeaver Inc., the intent is to support the successful creation of environmentally responsible buildings using the most appropriate materials and technologies for individuals, their community and the environment. While striving to empower those with whom we work with the knowledge, skills, technical information, artistry, and confidence needed to elegantly weave these elements into their projects, the larger goal is to help to build more than good buildings.

You are a natural leader with all the right qualities and clarity of vision that is so needed right now...both in our sustainability community and the world as a whole
