The “Green Team” training grant is funded by the men and women on probation , so it is not paid for by tax payers. Once we have enough people trained then , the Green team will weatherize low income homes to help out the tax payer and people in the homes by lowing the cost of heating assistance, heating bills and national dependence on fossil fuels , and, green house gas out put.
A team made up of Washington County Partnership , P@P , Corrections , and AmeriCorps VISTA Reentry ( me) have been working for the last year to make project a success and its got some national attention along with some APME awards.
It looks as if it may duplicated nationally!

I got bored and so today I decided to make two closed terrariums and a moss terrarium (the last one with a salt shaker). So I went around providence, and took some potting soil from a few outside gardens (in front of the Builtmore, nothing that somebody put personal time into), and a few odd plants from the park. I should probably get started before the plants die, and I still need to find/grow moss. What else do I need to make a stable self sustaining terrarium? I figure right now I will start a terrarium and the look for a few worms, and some bugs and then make it a closed terrarium.
I do have some seeds, but I think the RA's might get a little upset because its from a plant closely related to hemp :-)
Does anybody know where I can find some others? I have a very small budget for seeds and everything else ($5).
and pebbles, I still need to find a few pebbles.
I think I can get activated charcoal to help things along a bit, but I will need to wait until my brita filter needs to be changed. ]]> Environmental Studies Theory5 http://hypography.com/forums/environmental-studies/21369-how-make-terrarium.html
