NEW YORK SUN’S WORK PROJECT ECON2505-D272 Environmental Economics Prof. S. MacDonald By Abraham Guzman

About NY Sun Works: In 2007 New York Sun Works created the Science Barge; a floating, sustainable urban farm located on the Hudson River. It was the first demonstration of a high-yield, commercial- grade urban food production facility which was powered by wind and solar energy, heated with vegetable oil, and irrigated by rainwater.

NYSW is a non-profit organization. NYSW is a non-profit organization. As of 2016 NYWS has 45 greenhouse project labs. As of 2016 NYWS has 45 greenhouse project labs. The goal is to have 100 labs by 2020 The goal is to have 100 labs by 2020 The Greenhouse Project is dedicated to improving K through 12 grade Environmental Science Education in urban schools through a hands-on integrated curriculum and professional development.

THE SCIENCE BARGE

The Science Barge is a sustainable urban farm designed by New York Sun Works, an environmental nonprofit organization. The Science Barge is a sustainable urban farm designed by New York Sun Works, an environmental nonprofit organization. Relying on sunlight, wind, and efficient design, the Science Barge produces food using a fraction of the resources consumed in conventional agriculture, with greatly reduced emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

The goal of the Science Barge is to stimulate the sustainable development of New York City. A city that can generate its own power, grow its own food, and recycle its own wastewater helps secure our common future and sets the standard for other cities around the world.

ENERGY Solar Wind Biofuels The three renewable energy technologies demonstrated on the Science Barge are of vital importance in reducing carbon emissions:

WATER Recirculating Hydroponics Desalination Rainwater catchment Agriculture accounts for more than two- thirds of global fresh water consumption, which often exceeds natural replacement rates. The Science Barge conserves water in three ways:

FOOD Conserving land and water Reducing Emission Eliminating pollutants The Science Barge showcases hydroponic vegetable production, a form of greenhouse agriculture that offers strong environmental benefits
