Michelle Parker and SASS’s Director of Sustainability Ryan Dunfee spent most of yesterday whittling bamboo sourced from around the hosteria’s property, cleaning and cutting up plastic bottles that the hotel staff had been saving since the summer, and putting together the first panels for SASS’s plastic bottle greenhouse, which will be donated to a local organization to start a community-supported agriculture project.
Video Intern Conor Ahearn also put together this quick little clip
about the project.

We’ll keep you updated as the project develops; Michelle already put together the last of the plastic bottles at the hotel and Mark Abma arrived yesterday to help with the biodiesel reactor… doin’ werk at SASS!
