We recycle 90% of our trash. I insulated the walls and ceiling and installed an energy efficient HVAC system. I installed an organic vegetable garden in front of the building to demonstrate to passersby how anyone can grow their own food, in a small space, with very little water. Growing local reduces ones carbon footprint over buying food trucked in from miles away, organic growing methods use less energy, don't pollute the ground water, and produce healthier food and people. The garden is also a highly visible demonstration of a self-watering wicking bed, which has reservoir of water beneath the soil, allowing plants to stay perfectly moist all the time, and it typically only needs watering twice a month. Every drop of water put in the reservoir is used by the plants, which grow fast and strong, making gardening more fun.
