Eastside Non-Profit Spotlight: Sustainable Revolution Project

The Sustainable Revolution Project is a Northeast Minneapolis-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting simple, energy-efficient solutions by creating innovative, sustainable opportunities in the public and private sector. They build sustainable homes, offer Green Work Force training, and provide consulting services to homeowners and contractors on sustainable building techniques.

One of the major focuses of their mission is environmental service learning programs to educate youth and communities. Their SEED (Sustainable Environmental Education) Program is teaming up with inner city schools to educate kindergarten through 12th grade students on sustainable technologies. They use on-site and classroom instruction to empower youth to make sustainable choices that positively impact their communities. SEED will be working with Edison High School this year on a pesticide reduction program for the school’s athletic fields.

Sustainable Revolution Project is located at 1330 Quincy Street NE. For further information about their mission and services, call 612-481-2346 or go to sustainablerevolutionproject.org.
