Over the past five years, Build Green Now (BGN), founded by Henry Gage Jr. and Sally Warren in Kingston, NY, has collaborated with universities, legislators, and community leaders across New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Puerto Rico to establish teams dedicated to a unified approach in sustainable development.
Our journey began with New York's first hempcrete retrofit in 2019, followed by legislative and code council efforts to lay a foundational framework. We are now entering the alpha testing phase of MaayaData, a platform designed to connect like-minded individuals for collaborative innovation, ensuring contributors reap the benefits.
This initiative aims to counteract the economic challenges of 2025 by empowering communities. Recognizing the urgency to create more opportunities promptly, we invite those ready to help rebuild communities for the people to join our team.
