Environmental sustainability is a core value at Boston Building Resources. The Reuse Center at BBR takes in donations of building materials, eliminating the environmental impact of needless waste and making materials available at affordable prices to low- and moderate-income homeowners. Two years ago, the Reuse Center building was remodeled to a zero-carbon standard, with all the power needed to operate the building generated by a rooftop solar array. It is Mission Hill’s only zero-carbon building. The Co-op at BBR carries rain barrels, home compost bins, and products to help people conserve energy and live sustainably.
