EcoTech Approach – Andrew W

1. Background: How do we draw attention to our crumbling infrastructure in an original way? Flowers.
2. Explanation: The idea for this project is to plant flower beds or singular plants in the pot holes around the university of Maine Campus. This would highlight the need for road reconstruction in a highly visible way as well as a a non destructive way. Im also thinking that making really tiny signs or cars to put in the plants would be nice, as it could explain why they are there.
3. Credits:I first heard about this idea when reading an article on an artist in a foreign country, it thing it was Belgium.
4. Simple Budget

Flowers: about 12$ per pothole

fertilizer: (the flowers will die in about two days without it) 20$

Gas: 20$

Time: Probably a good 6 hours to buy supplies and fill already noted potholes.

Flyers:?: about 5$ in printing funds.
