New D.C. Urban Rain Garden

A new innovative urban rain garden has been installed in downtown Washington, D.C. along the 19th Street corridor. The planted area is a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat. It is great to see and hopefully there will be more of these urban rain gardens sprouting up around town so the nation's capital can become the greenest city in America and the world.

Costa Rica Adventure August 2014


Arenal Volcano
This summer I took a group eco tour of amazing Costa Rica in Central America. Enthusiastic and experienced environmentalist Ami Greener and his travel company Greener Travel organized the ten-day adventure. The tiny nation the size of West Virginia is one percent of the world's land mass and yet contains five percent of the world's biodiversity. The flora and fauna, the pristine beaches, the happy people, the many cultures, the rainforest, the volcanoes, the cities. When you visit Costa Rica you understand why their most famous saying and national greeting is "Pura Vida," or "Pure Life!"
