My Favorite Buildings
Here's a rerun of a post Steel did two and a half years ago. A building with an already rich history back then, it has even more of a story to tell now. Fortunately, due to the hard work and foresight of a group of neighbors, preservationists, a great lawyer and a developer with the wherewithal and vision to turn an imminent demolition around, one of Steel's favorite buildings has a future too.
This marvelous edifice is on Jersey Street just west of Richmond. It is on a great … - Today, 12:31am

A cast-off aquarium works well, too. Maybe a recycle arrangement could be coordinated with retailers of new aquariums? I can understand why they wouldn't want to store and re-sell the old ones but, maybe they could suggest donation to Urban Roots, who could then sell them at a very low price? Just a thought.
I too, had a terrarium as a kid (mostly African Violets). I think this is a great hobby for young people… it fosters caring, hope, patience, appreciation of nature — all in one's own micro-world. Good luck with the program!

The project the science teachers will be leading will make use of inexpensive materials. This photo is a of one of the designer terrariums for sale at Urban Roots, and this is probably not what you would use with your children. Check in on Saturday, or follow up with Urban Roots on what materials the science teachers used.
