On Tuesday, July 17th, Ruth (Goldberg) and I made the trip to S.A.V.E. at the Point in Hunts Point, the Bronx to visit Christopher Toole and his aquaponic system, and to learn about sustainable practices in urban aquaculture. First, thanks to Chris for his generous time to show show us around the Point, and for discussing his knowledge on education, sustainability, business, and fish. Secondly, it provided Ruth and me with some ideas on how to develop an instructional model on a much smaller scale. As part of our Ithaca College and SAF funds, we hope to create our own system, as a way to encourage students to become actively involved in urban sustainability projects around the city.
