We started our Learn It, Grow It, 吃它(LGE)项目是bg视讯社区花园和环境教育项目的合作项目. LGE students, 分别来自布朗克斯的四所高中和曼哈顿的一所高中, take part in a three-part program: growing food in local community gardens; receiving nutrition education, which they then use to perform health-related outreach activities in their schools and neighborhoods; and operating a Youthmarket community farm stand where they sell the food they grow. 今天是他们青年市场的倒数第二天, 但市场上仍然摆满了他们菜园里的农产品. 下星期三是这个季节的最后一个集市日, October 27th, 从上午10点到下午2点30分,在波士顿路和169街交界处. 看看他们花园的一些照片 Wishing Well Community Garden and from their Youthmarket.

Collecting Sunday night's shower

October 12, 2010

昨晚的倾盆大雨使纽约市下了一英寸的雨,并在一些社区引发了洪水. 暴风雨给城市的下水道系统带来了巨大的负担, 当地的分水岭也感受到了这种影响. bg视讯 has helped build over 60 rainwater harvesting systems in community gardens throughout the city. 这些系统有助于减少雨水径流, 减少对公共供水系统的需求, 让园丁们更容易给花园浇水. But just how much water do they save? bg视讯用来计算雨水收集潜力的一般公式是,1000平方英尺的集水区(如屋顶)每英寸雨水将产生600加仑的水. bg视讯还考虑了系统的效率,并说75%的潜在可收获的雨水实际上被收集了起来. 如果一座典型建筑的占地面积是20英尺× 50英尺(1000平方英尺), 这意味着昨晚一英寸的降雨量可以收集450加仑的水. 一个典型的10英尺× 10英尺的棚子可以收获45加仑. 作为参考,一个典型的喷壶大约是2.5 gallons. 关于bg视讯雨水收集项目的更多信息请访问 here. 有关构建您自己的系统的PDF指南,请单击 here.
