The Sustainable Living Center is an innovative community hub where people can come to learn about sustainability issues (i.e.: green building, permaculture, solar technology, rain water harvesting, etc.). Our community facility, located at 2309 Meridian Street in Bellingham and features:

• The RE Store, with its large inventory of affordable, recycled and vintage building materials.
• Volunteer training sessions and community workshops where people can learn skills from how to testify at public hearings, plant an organic veggie garden, monitor water pollution, or build an earthen structure.
  
• A library filled with the latest information and news in conservation and green building. Contact Hannah if you have books you'd like to donate!
  
• Skill-building workshops, like how to re-use construction materials, plumb a sink, install a window, or build a rain barrel. Check out our Event Calendar to see what's coming up this month.
• Sustainability courses, like food preservation, in-home energy conservation, organic gardening, natural building, and more. See some of our past events.
  
• Educational exhibits and interactive displays that link human actions and the environment—imagine calculating your global warming footprint or learning about how to reduce energy consumption in your home.
• RE Sources' education and advocacy offices.
• The RE Patch Community Garden - our food-producing, educational, community-gathering hub, behind The RE Store warehouse.
  

Our rooms are available to rent at very low cost. Rentals include the use of facilities, dishes, appliances, and equipment upon request. Whether you have a small group or a large presentation to accommodate, The Sustainable Living Center has a room to fit your needs.
