Mission Statement

At Urban Green Lab, we teach communities how to live sustainably. Founded in 2009, we work to ensure all of us have access to sustainable living education. Through a focus on classrooms, households, and workplaces — places where culture begins — Urban Green Lab transforms spaces into “labs” for learning what it means to live sustainably by training professionals, organizing and facilitating the exchange of best practices, connecting institutions with services, and encouraging people to feel good about being part of the solution.

Mission Statement

“Fostering creativity and sustainability through reuse.”Our mission of fostering creativity and sustainability through reuse guides everything that we do at Turnip Green Creative reuse. Creative reuse is an incredibly effective way to keep material out of our landfills while enhancing our community and helping art come into the world. We partner with artists, schools, teachers, and businesses to breathe new life into old, unwanted or damaged items that would normally be thrown away. We do this through our pay what you wish retail space, education outreach, green galleries, and inclusive open studio space.
