SUMMARY:Des Moines Sustainability Tour July 26
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday July 26 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm the Des Moines Citizens Sustainability TaskForce (which 1000 Friends of Iowa is part of)\, will host a Sustainability Tour in Des Moines Iowa. \nAmong those attending the tour are: Des Moines City Council members\, Mayor Cownie\, Polk County Supervisors\, members of the Planning and Zoning Commission\, and others interested in a sustainable Des Moines. \nThe tour will highlight existing projects within the city limits that were designed with sustainability in mind. Projects include: \n— A park shelter that is LEED Certified and incorporates sustainable elements such as stormwater mitigation\, rain gardens\, and geothermal heating and cooling. \n— A residence that is in the process of being rehabbed with sustainability and renewable energy elements. The house incorporated a non-profit’s programming into the rehab design. In includes rainwater collection\, repurposed construction material that resulted in zero construction waste\, compost tumblers from barrels\, and a basement that has been converted for vertical farming and hydroponics\, as well as youth programming. \n— Two projects that won a 1000 Friends of Iowa Best Development Award. Both projects started by renovating existing structures and incorporating solar and numerous other sustainable features. One is a mixed use building (shown in photo) and the other is a business. \n— A stormwater and watershed restoration project at Easter Lake. \nDART is providing a bus for the tour and will pick us up at 400 E Court in the parking lot.  Space on the bus is limited\, so please RSVP soon. \nPlease RSVP by emailing: Kari@1000friendsofiowa.org or calling 515-288-5364. \nFor those who would like to join for just  a portion of the tour or need to drive on their own\, the tour route is: \n1:50 p.m. Meet at the back parking lot of City Hall\, 400 E.
