Sustainable 19125, initiative to create the greenest neighborhood in Philadelphia
From the Next Great City‘s weekly newsletter:
The Partnership for a Green Community is a collaborative, creative exchange forum for greening the 19125 area of Philadelphia.

PostGreen is building the $100K house, slated to be the first LEED Platinum, single-family home in Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania.
