Green Features
The Phinney Neighborhood Association has always valued sustainability and environmental stewardship --even before those terms were being used. We installed rainwater harvesting cisterns and have used the water for our toilets. We taught classes for the community in building storm windows for energy savings. We offer classes in sustainable building, gardening and recycling.
Green features we are planning include:
- Expanding our rainwater management system to the entire site.
- Utilizing as much solar power as possible
- Environmentally-friendly landscaping improvements including drought tolerant plantings and demostration gardens
- Replacing asphalt parking areas with water permeable surfaces for absorbing rainwater
- Recycling building and roofing materials where possible
- Composting program for our clean and green waste
- Diverting all construction waste from landfills
Volunteers install our rainwater cisterns!
