Our goal at Hillside is to enable access to a lifestyle that fosters community, education, and, most importantly, eliminates the three largest contributors of CO2 emissions: food, housing, and transportation. Collectively, these components create 79% of the greenhouse gas emission per household.
We are combating these elements by providing net-positive energy homes, growing food on site in our year-round greenhouse, and using shared electric vehicles powered by alternative energy. Creating a replicable model of successful sustainable living is at the center of intentions for Hillside.
