Cleveland Foundation seeks to build modern greenhouse in Cleveland's Central neighborhood
The Cleveland Foundation envisions building an expansive, ultra-modern hydroponic greenhouse in the middle of an impoverished Cleveland neighborhood where lettuce, basil and economic independence will become the main crops.
Plans call for a 5 1/2-acre greenhouse on a triangular shaped parcel bordered by Grand Avenue, East 55th Street and Kinsman Avenue in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city.
It seems like everything is "going green" lately; cars, companies, coffee cups, even vacuum cleaners and clothing. New eco-friendly products are increasingly becoming available for those who are environmentally conscious- and a person's home is now one. Green housing is becoming ever more prevalent and offers people an alternative living choice that is efficient, affordable and responsible.
It’s safe to say a green wave has hit society and that people are starting to take a good hard look at how they are using earth’s resources and energy.More and more of us are seeking sustainable lifestyle options that attempt to be more individually healthy and economically friendly, and green housing has become an essential part of that.
Today many builders are taking the “green concept” of sustainability- which involves renewable energy and the conservation of resources, and incorporating that into their building model. Green construction, which uses processes that are environmentally responsible and resource- effective, are producing increasingly ecological conscious homes. These homes promote a natural sense of well-being, better health, and greater economic prosperity through affordable and efficient use of energy and natural resources.
