Description
Gennaro is an American green builder and artist living in New York City. Led by Gennaro is the artistic green contracting and design firm, Eco Brooklyn which is recognised by the National Association of Green Builders and LEED AP. Gennaro uses his firm to turn New York green by creating living walls which not only enhances the aesthetics of living spaces, but also improves the environment and the quality of life of all living creatures. Living walls are a great way for people to grow plants, including fruit and vegetables, up a wall as opposed to in the ground. The Eco Brooklyn Team have handled many green buildings, including green roofs, natural swimming pools and a large range of projects using salvaged non-toxic materials. They also specialise in soil remediation which they do mostly for brownstone owners who have high lead levels in their gardens, therefore, helping to make New York a greener and healthier place. We really recommend you check out Gennaro’s pages just for the visuals!
