[Dialogue] GreenRise successes at 4750

[Janice Ulangca]

Once again - an ICA Demonstration Project - responding to a major contradiction.  Can't be done?  Well, has been done - come and see - and welcome to new possibilities ... !   Thanks, Catherine -  the liberation - and future - of us all is bound with how we care for our one planet.  Much gratitude for the vision, patience, and hard work that brought Green Rise this far.

        Congratulations!

        If you have come to help me, you 

        are wasting your time. But if you 

        have come because your liberation 

        is bound with mine - then let us 

        work together."

          Last week, I invited folks to go online and vote for the rooftop garden project coordinated by a young 21-year old member of the GreenRise Intentional Residential Community at 4750, Joseph Taylor. 




          I am delighted to announce that, with your help, this project won the Ford Community Green Grant today at the Chicago Green Festival, A Project of Green America and Global Exchange. There are similar Festivals happening in Los Angeles (Oct 19-20), San Francisco (Nov 9-10), Washington, DC (Sept 21-22), and New York (April 19-21). The prize was for $5,000. If my attachment is successfully transmitted, you can see a photo from the awards ceremony. Joseph is the tall one in the middle surrounded by supporters.




          On a related note, we also received notice last week that the GreenRise Building "solar project" has been awarded a $359,000 grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation to install renewable energy panels on our rooftop. The building at 4750 Sheridan is becoming a VERY high profile embodiment of "green culture" to complement our neighborhood sustainability work across the 77 community areas of Chicago.
