All great things green come from an innovative idea. I read with intrigue somethingaboutMaryman’s post with some ideas for Seattle. You should read his post, but the idea is to use the city’s right of ways to decrease the number of impervious surfaces.

The river round up for 2-15 to 2-22:

It still may be snowing, but some people already have green grass on their mind. Ian’s Messy desk is planning ahead for a “green� green lawn.

In their blog, the National Wildlife Federation has some always useful water conservation tips.

The Independent, Conservative, Common Sense Oasis agrees that the rejection of an inflatable dam on the Susquehanna River is a good thing.

It is time to make a rain barrel over at Tech for People.

New York City is working on its combined sewer overflow problem with green infrastructure. Sustainable Flatbrush has more info.

    Hi American Rivers, thanks for the mention, and look for more stats from more cities coming soon. I’d also mention another project that we’ve been working on in our spare time, which is the Green Infrastructure Wiki (www.greeninfrastructurewiki.com). Like wikipedia, it’s a forum for people to share great projects, policies and ideas around green infrastructure thinking.

    Keep it up!

    Brice, thanks for the heads up on the green infrastructure wiki; I’ll be sure to share it with Gary Belan, our green infrastructure guru.

    Also, please keep us posted on how the wiki evolves, we’d love to hear about the successes!

    Best,
    Chas
