Green Initiative Campaign
Congratulations DETROIT ALUMNAE CHAPTER on a Successful Round Up 2021
DSTDFI presents “You’re Killing Me!” A Detroit Urban Green Infrastructure Project.
“You’re Killing Me!” is a site-specific phase one approach to increasing urban green infrastructure utilizing faith/community-based properties as a vehicle for large scale community outreach which will optimistically reduce stormwater run-off volume to prevent combined sewage overflows.
The project seeks to:
- Design and implement storm water BMPs at the DSTDFI campus and Fellowship Chapel (Phase one)
- Implement a Communication/Marketing urban environmental stewardship Campaign
- Conduct community education outreach through community forums to all who benefit from church and public service programming including the implementation of a social monitoring component
DSTDFI will design and implement Bioretention/Rain Gardens, located on large community/faith based “shovel ready” commercial properties, to prevent storm water run-off from reaching Combined Sewage Overflows/Water Treatment Facilities.
