Great Go Green Tour! Kids send us your visions!

As you might know, 141 third graders from Clemson Elementary went on a great Go Green tour through our small city last week. They went to a recycling center where they heard a Land fill talk, visited the Clemson Sustainable Agriculture Farm were they heard a worm bin talk and ended their day at the Picture Green event at Clemson University where they looked at Visions for Self-Sufficient cities by Clemson University Architecture students. Go Green!! Go! 

Hey kids, tell me, Sprout, your vision for a self-sufficient city, one that takes care of itself and doesn't abuse the environment. You can write your idea on this post or email me drawings at gogreence@gmail.com!.

In this city called Reciprocity, waste is used and reused to make the city work. Everything is good for something, everything is recycled. Human waste is turned into fuel to make things work. The city works a little like a worm bin. 

In this city, harmful gases created by cars are transformed into Oxygen through photosynthesis using algae and streets are turned into parks.  Many existing cities can be transformed like this. The name of this proposal is Go the Park Way.

In this city every drop of water is collected and used for many of our water needs. This city, which acts like a sponge is called Pourouscity.

Don't forget kids! send me your ideas! together, we can think about how to make our cities and our world more Green, more ecological! ____ Sprout
