Video on Building Green: A Success Story in Philadelphia

Video on Building Green: A Success Story in Philadelphia

EPA's Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds (OWOW) announced the availability of a new 11-minute video, "Building Green: A Success Story in Philadelphia," which highlights innovative efforts by green builders in Philadelphia who are helping protect and restore environmental quality and beautify the city. By installing cisterns, green roofs, porous pavers, solar panels, and Energy Star appliances, the builders are capturing rainwater, reducing stormwater runoff, and saving energy.

In the video, Howard Neukrug, Director of Philadelphia’s Office of Watersheds, explains the importance of green stormwater infrastructure. The city is now offering incentives to builders and developers to use
green techniques to help meet clean water and other environmental goals.


The video is available on-line at www.epa.gov/owow/nps/lid/video.html. A high resolution Digital Betacam version is also available upon request. For more information, contact Patty Scott at scott.patricia@epa.gov.


Whatever the heck high resolution Digital Betacam is - I guess this old fogey better visit Wikipedia or something.
