Eco-Design in Shaw

Shaw EcoVillage runs an EcoDesign Corps, where youth ages 14 to 19 develop critical thinking, job and leadership skills by designing and implementing innovative solutions to real-life community issues. The EcoDesign Corps interns will present their proposals for sustainable community improvement. Projects include a community garden, a project raising public awareness of homelessness and a rain barrel project to improve local water quality. This event is free and open to the public, however seating is limited, so RSVP to 202/265-2019 or sev.ecodesign@verizon.net. Community members are encouraged to come with questions and ideas for these continuing projects.
