Teens Go Green!

Posted on July 15, 2009 by Katie

Our friend Khiet Luong from the Darby-Cobbs Watershed Partnership sent us this philly.com article from a few weeks ago. It’s all about Teens Go Green, an awesome new initiative from the Urban Tree Connection, Foundations, Inc. and MLK High School. This program has dual purposes: neighborhood teenagers learn new skills in the landscaping business and beautify the neighborhood in the process. (Another bonus, not mentioned in the article: all those new plants in the ground really help with stormwater management!)
