NuMundo - PLACE for Sustainable Living

About.

We are a public-serving, experiential learning center to showcase and foster sustainable living practices, urban homesteading, community resiliency & preparedness, social justice and art expression. Our goal is to incubate a local sustainability hub to allow people to see solutions in practice; to gain access to the knowledge and resources to empower them to take action in their own lives, neighborhoods, towns, cities and bio-regions. We will grow this green-center model into communities across the world in partnership with community centers, schools, park & recreation facilities, etc.
