DePave Portland

DePave is a project of the Portland non-profit City Repair who’s goal is to remove unnecessary concrete from urban areas, and to aid and educate other people who would like to do the same thing.  Depaved areas can change a concrete area into a beautiful lush garden that provides the city with cleaner air, cleaner water, less stormwater runoff cost, and ultimately a cleaner river.  Not to mention a community garden is much easier on the eyes than a parking lot.  Just another awesome non-profit in Portland that is trying to help the world one lot at a time in a very innovative way.  Check DePaves website for information on how to start your own depaving project.
