On September 26, 2019, the freshmen Tucker River Fellows took a short tour of Green spaces! Green spaces is located downtown and it was started as a project to help conserve the natural environment of Chattanooga in 2007. Their main focus is to help spread awareness about waste and other things harmful to the natural world. They also work to keep building green as they often work with architects or developers. Their building is LEED certified which means their building is nationally recognized for working to use strategies that benefit the health of the public and the environment. Green spaces encourages, and uses themselves, a gray water system which preserves drinking water. It treats water that needs to be used for other purposes that don’t require the water to be potable such as toilets, water plants, cooling towers etc. They also speak to businesses about switching to a green roof which uses plants to absorb water, treat the air, provide insulation etc.
