All of us here at Build It Green!NYC are deeply saddened by the news of Alberto's death. Bert was a promising young intern at our Queens reuse center, and an incredible person who will be missed greatly by all of us at BIG!NYC. You can learn more about this special young man at DNAinfo.com or contribute a donation to his funeral fund here.
