Rithet Reservoir

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

This week we have a crew working on Vancouver Island in the District of Saanich, on the Rithet Reservoir Replacement project.

Rithet Reservoir Terraseeding

Terraseeding™ was specified by RATIO – the process was a good fit with their goal of “dissolving the box.”   RATIO’s design elements on this project are set up to “work together not just to disguise a functional structure, but to create something beautiful. The end result will be a reservoir that feels at home in this residential community.”  Check out the project info and concept drawings on RATIO‘s website.

We are honoured to provide an excellent solution to vegetating this reservoir, ultimately creating a beautiful natural green space for the local residents.

The Story of Change

/in , , /by

Last week we brought you the Story of Stuff video.

Today we follow up with the Story of Change.  This video “takes viewers through an inspiring exploration of what effective changemaking has looked like through history—from Gandhi in India to the US Civil Rights movement to the environmental victories of the 1970s—and shares the things you’ll find whenever people get together and change the world: a big idea, a commitment to working together, and a whole lot of action. She also let’s viewers know that making change will take all kinds of people, offers a series of changemaker identities and ends the movie with a question for viewers: Which are you?”
