Columbia Green Builders are putting bland basketball to bed on Friday. In their park(ing) spot across from the University, they’ll be remixing the age old sport with their green philosophy. Here’s the update:

The Green Builders at Columbia had a great kickoff meeting and design charrette on Saturday and now planning and construction is moving full speed ahead!

The concept for our park is a NYC basketball court re-envisioned green builder style.  The basketball hoop will be a toilet, the ball will be water balloons, and the court floor will be planted with our favorite foliage.
We’ll teach visitors about grey water treatment, composting, and recycling - all while shooting hoops.  Our materials will be reused, repurposed, recycled, renewable, and our message will be clear: Build Green!
