This place is designed to encourage the perspectives and incentives of all who enter. Looking at successes and barriers, sector by sector, the goal is to make real progress in greening industry and improving overall quality of life.

We have seen sectors like the textile trade dwindle in the US before our very eyes. We know there are great benefits to keeping such industries alive so we encourage adopting the competitive edge through sustainable practices.

The US is not currently a leader in manufacturing but it can still be a trailblazer in the fair trade and buy local movements.

We are proposing an Eco-Industrial Revolution where local production, manufacturing, design, and creativity make a comeback in the US. Providing safe, healthy and accessible apprenticeships to those looking for career guidance, is the Eco-Hub’s mission
