Internship & Summer update

posted by wes at 12:05 pm

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update here, and I feel compelled to explain myself.  I’ve recently started an internship at Postgreen, a green development company currently operating out of the Kensington/ Fishtown area of Philadelphia.  They’re doing one of the coolest projects in Philadelphia that I know of, and they’re definitely worth checking out if you’ve got some spare time.  Click their logo below for the blog:
Aside from starting an awesome internship, I’ve also still been working with my group members from the Aquatherapy team of the FarmPhilly project to get our Grey Water Natural Filtration System installed at Mill Creek Urban Farm.  The majority of the design phase took place during the Spring 09 semester, but the installation phase is an ongoing process.
Mill Creek is a wonderful organization that consists of two very hard-working individuals that put their community before anything else.  We’ve been honored to have the opportunity to work with them in diverting their sink wastewater into a system that filters it so that it may be re-used to water crops with.  Everything is going smoothly and installation is projected to be completed mid summer.
