seeding the city

I am officially announcing a call for first round participants for the Seeding the City green roof module installation.

If you are a New York City resident and interested in hosting a 2′x4′ green roof module, here is how you can participate:

1. Contact me.
2. I will provide you with information on urban environmental issues and the benefits of green roofs and technical information about the installation.
3. I will set up a site visit to see your roof.
4. If you do not own your building, we can jointly speak to your landlord, or you can contact your landlord for approval. I highly recommend participation from renters or people who live in co-ops and condos.
5. If your roof is a selected site, you will find 2-3 other people in your neighborhood (preferably no more than about an 8-10 block radius), who are interested in the project.
6. You will pass the contact information for these other interested parties on to me.
7. I will schedule your installation! (They will begin in September).

Please note, Priority will be given to those in the following neighborhoods:

• Bed-Stuy/Clinton Hil/N. Crown Heights,
• Greenpoint/E. Williamsburg
• South Bronx
• Two Bridges/Lower East Side
• Gowanus

And voila! You have a fabulous green roof module installed on your roof!
