We love it when someone really GETS it.

The way (locally, personally, without profiteering impulses) you’re yoking business practices to total human/environmental welfare is inspiring. I’m increasingly impressed by the community building (really, the most effective way to propagate anything) that you foster.

The social and moral implications of greening the urban environment have to be the motivation behind any lasting change, and it gratifies me to see you actively realize the aforementioned, manifested in the way you promote and pursue the act and craft of building (which itself has to be one of the vehicles of any such change by dint of its potential widespread involvement of local community). Thank you for involving so many people in meaningful work.

Good stuff. It has been inspiring watching the unfolding of this process from the beginning. I see a keen focus on essential values which truly allows the means to serve the ends. This is the stuff of the Prometheans, who are ensconced in the mode of discovery– as opposed to “innovation” and invention. Keep up the good work and rediscover the new world!

I think you guys should be considered leaders in the philosophical movement towards green building and green living.

You really understand that green living is something that should be available to people of all social and economic backgrounds; this should be how everyone thinks. You recognize that using reclaimed and recycled material is critical to low consumption projects. I think your team at Eco Brooklyn is very innovative in your designs and set a great example for eco-minded initiatives.

Keep up the good work!

I have been surfing your web pages for hours for the past several nights. When I first discovered your pages last week, I bookmarked them and also promptly emailed myself the link. In the message I wrote a note to myself ” write them! call them! hire them! work for them!”

This is because I am convinced you are the people I have been looking for most of my life.

Okay, that sounds a little bit extreme, but after I read your statement of purpose, I found myself saying “of course!” “yes, obviously!” so many times I knew I must make contact.

We are new homeowners as of yesterday, in the Kensington neighborhood. We have remodeling to do, and we need to both learn re – purposing and hire green rebuilders. I have been looking for re purposers, salvagers, and green (re) builders in the area, and found some in Queens and the Bronx.

I was overjoyed to find someone in Brooklyn at last!

I looked at your internship pages and was amazed at the variety of skills you teach.

i’m an environmental tech senior at NCSU in raleigh nc,
and you’re company’s mission hits the nail on the head!!!!!!

Hey Gennaro,

It was a pleasure meeting you and once again thank you so much for letting me get involve.
I agree that there are a great number of people that feels the same way about non-green construction, and I think that what you are doing is great by creating a bridge and opening new doors for this big cap that we currently live in.
I had a really great and inspiring experience today. It felt great to be finally with hands-on!!! I learned a lot with Alex and specially Ruben. He seems to be a very knowledgeable and very passion for what he does. One of the best part in connecting with Eco-friendly people is that they are always open, simple, friendly and often very knowedgable. This is another thing that I really miss since I’m usually surrounded by bully, bossy and arrogant people.

Congratulations on your good work and I recommend that
people go to your web site to see how its done.

I think it is so wonderful the way you allow youth, who might not otherwise have positive things to do, learn this wonderful skill. And the fact that you are using natural products is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Lana.

Hi Mr. Gennaro Brooks-Church,
My name is Easar Forghany and I was in the Drexel REU group which came by one of your Eco Brooklyn houses. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to show us your work and your accomplishments. I was very impressed by your business, as it creates a unique and modern household for people while being environmentally friendly. I have a great passion for moving our nation towards a more sustainable future with renewable fuels and help reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Your mission struck a chord with me and I hope to learn more about it in the near future. Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you.
