EcoTech Intent -AndrewW

For my EcoTech Intent I am taking inspiration from an article that I read outside of class. An artist from some foreign country, I believe Belgium, was getting very annoyed with pot holes littering the streets of his town. He sent many requests to the city council to fix the roads but his concerns were not addressed. This man decided to take an EcoTech approach to find a solution to the problem. This guy decided to purchase flowers from a shop in his local area and plant flower beds/pots in the pot holes in the roads. Not only is it a non destructive and beautiful way to draw attention to a problem, it also was very effective. City officials repaired some pot holes in as little as a day. I think that doing something like this on the UMaine campus, which as of late is suffering from some terrible road conditions, could make campus officials aware of what a growing problem this is becoming.

Budget:

Flowers: $100
