Today, I had the privilege of being part of a crew of at least a dozen or more parents, teachers, and even a grandparent of our school to make
"green history" at my school:
Eagle Cove School. As a Maryland "Green" School, we are all about being green. Recycling is 2nd nature. Composting is what we do. We grow vegetables in the on-campus greenhouse. We trek along the nature trail, and we seine in the river that neighbors our campus. Today, we ratcheted it up a notch:
today we put in a 15' x 25' green roof on a section of one of our campus building's roofs.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is indeed the case, then a Smilebox, with embedded video, is worth at least 10,000. Watch it here, with photos I snapped throughout the day. It's amazing what you can accomplish in a little over 3 hours when you come equipped with a crew! Special thanks to Rick Truett, from
RF Truett Sustainable Building in Pasadena, Maryland, for all the assistance along the way today, helping our Green Roof take shape.
