Here is a new venture.– a boat — a laboratory and showspace for do-it-yourself sustainability experiments. Moving up and down the Gowanus teaching sustainability. MoS will have to initiate a conversation on EM-1 use and mud balls edu and events. Every boat should use copious amounts of EM-1.
Surrounded in a constructed wetland and powered by vikings, “Jerko the Gowanus Water Vacuum’ is a salvaged houseboat that has been transformed into a laboratory and showspace for do-it-yourself sustainability projects.
From its parabolic solar tea maker (created from broken mirrors and a dumpstered satellite dish) to its living machine (made out of pickle buckets, wetland plants and pvc), this rough and ready design collective marries do-it-yourself garage engineering with sustainable design principles.
On October 2, 2010, join Green Homes NYC, the Sustainability Street Fair and the crew of Jerko The Gowanus Water Vacuum as they set out on a maiden voyagethrough New York’s most legendary canal.
