Nafisa grew up in Queens NY, got some sort of degree in Ethnic Studies and Political Economy, worked in youth organizing/nonprofit, then moved to Kolkata for a fellowship. Somehow she ended up in Atlanta, getting a masters in development practice. You know.. my parent’s house in Queens has a lawn and garden in the back. It would be really easy to convert the roof/drainage system to harvest rainwater to feed the garden. I don’t think we have access to the roof so installing the filtration “system” would have to be done carefully. Big deal. & when it doesn’t rain, if we switch to organic soaps then collecting bathwater is enough to feed the lawn.
It would be awesome to convert UNIS Queens into a rainwater harvesting center too. They have a flat accessible roof. If I proposed it, I could probably get paid for it. Crap, the kids could even use the tanks as math exercises and measure the liters every rainfall.
