About Blacks in Green™ (BIG)

BIG is an environmental and economic development non-profit tackling pollution and poverty with a system it created and calls The Sustainable Square Mile™ and a goal of closing the racial health/wealth gap by teaching the risks of climate crisis and opportunities of the new green economy.

 

BIG serves as a bridge and catalyst among communities and their stakeholders in the design and development of green, self-sustaining, mixed-income, walkable-villages where Black folks own the businesses, own the land, and live the conservation lifestyle. A place where every household can walk-to-work, walk-to-shop, walk-to-learn, walk-to-play – and neighbor dollars can circulate locally to limit greenhouse gases overheating our planet.

 

BIG’s 8 Principles of Green-Village-Building operate in the realms of wealth building through ownership, renewable energy, recycling, urban homesteading, celebration of heritage, system change organizing, green hubs for lifelong learning, and making an oasis wherever we live – by inventing, investing, manufacturing, and merchandising locally.
