The District has won many prestigous awards for innovation in water treatment methods.
Mike Barsotti is the director of water quality and production there. Today he was conducting one of many educational tours he gives of the plant's operations for middle school students at Frederick Tuttle Middle School in South Burlington. He showed them where their plant stores cool air from the lake water they filter. This is then used for air conditioning in the hotter months of the year to cool off the plant thereby reducing their plant's carbon footprint. it is this kind of thinking that will enable our communties and businesses to thrive in a more ecologically smart way.

This counts as both a beautiful and scrumptious website. Margaret Dorfman makes these Vegetable Parchment Bowls from fresh vegetables that have been cured, pressed, dried and aged. Then she molds them into bowls which are thin and translucent without chemicals. They seem ethereal and tasty at the same time. I appreciate art that is made from found objects in nature.

At Excellent Packaging & Supply, it almost seems as if the plates and tableware themselves are the menu.
When you're done eating your meal, you can eat your utensils for dessert. I like it.
