February Sustainable JC Monthly Meeting: All About Green Infrastructure

http://www.barrowmansion.org/Green Infrastructure (GI) is an alternate method of solving urban land planning challenges by using nature instead of hard materials. This cost effective method encompasses stormwater management, less heat stress, food production, better air quality, cleaner water and soils, and sustainable energy production. Specific examples for stormwater management include Rain Gardens & Bioswales, Rain Barrels & Permeable Pavement, Trees and Understory Plantings, Green Roofs & Walls.

This evening we will update you on SJC GI Team activities and present you opportunities to get more involved and support the new focus on GI the City of Jersey City has in helping to solve stormwater management issues.
