The Green Resource Center opened in Berkeley on Earth Day 1999.
A long held dream of Nor Cal ADPSR the GRC received support from UC
Berkeley, the City of Berkeley, and businesses of an amazing variety.
After providing financial support for almost two years, ADPSR agreed
with the City of Berkeley in September of 2001 to allow the GRC to become
a independent 501c3 non-profit organization. Until the paperwork becomes
official, the GRC will continue to operate as a project of ADPSR. The
new independent GRC will continue to manage special projects for The
City of Berkeley.
