Wolf Ridge has been recognized by Clean Energy Resource Teams for our recent Living Building Challenge certification through International Living Future Institute (ILFI).
“At our center we’re inspiring people through the simple act of living in a building. We’re demonstrating that it’s not just a shelter, not just a place to eat or sleep, it’s a paradigm shift in philosophy”
“We demonstrated that if we went to 100% waste stream fiber, we could actually have a carbon positive outcome. ILFI said if we could do that, they would give us the energy certification, it would be a special scenario and we would be the first in the world to have earned it this way.” ~ Pete Smerud, Wolf Ridge Executive Director
