2011-06-28T14:22:00.000-07:00

This promo for the Philadelphia Water Department's innovative greening projects is an overview of their Green Streets, Green Homes and Green Communities initiatives. Through green infrastructures, the City of Philadelphia aims to meet the EPA mandate of pollution reduction in the rivers - the Schuylkill and the Delaware - by 2012. These green solutions include rain barrels, stormwater planters, rain gardens, tree trenches, green roofs and porous paving, instead of building storage tanks and adding more pipes to an already over-burdened system.
