Justin Green - Program Director

Justin is the founder and Director of Build It Green. He's overseen its development from the beginning, having managed the 2 deconstruction projects for the Durst Organization that generated the materials required to launch BIG!NYC. Before BIG!NYC, Justin worked on Community Environmental Center’s efforts to establish a statewide loan fund for the installation of energy efficiency measures. He has also managed construction crews in residential development, worked as a Loan Associate with Low Income Investment Fund, monitoring loans to non-profit housing developers, and designed for an educational Internet company during the first Internet boom. Justin loved dumpster diving so much that he decided to make it into a full blown career. To the ongoing distress of Christine, all of their home furnishings and most of his clothes consist of found items and materials (except their mattress – not his choice.)
