5/11/18 review of a Denver Green Roof Initiative community meeting

Here is the link to my May 11, 2018, Twitter thread review of a community meeting I attended about Denver's Green Roof Initiative.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still moderately coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

Here is the link to my Twitter thread discussion of Denver's Green Roof Initiative, which was passed in 2017.

The thread discusses political movements from the 2010s I have found to be of key interest in the United States -- Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, and the DREAMERs (I might also nowadays count the Never Again movement and the Sunrise Movement).

The thread then discusses elements I liked about the Denver Green Roof Initiative -- its being grassroots, youth-driven, and civically engaged, and its working within the system. It discusses my own experiences with green roof building, environmentalism, and how I learned of the Denver Green Roof Initiative. It discusses the strengths and shortcomings of the initiative, as well as how I see the initiative serving as a model for other infrastructure innovation efforts in Denver's and Colorado's future.

Unfortunately -- this is yet another thread that has been twisted around by Twitter's platform, so that the tweets are all lined up out of chronological order -- making this thread in particular pretty incoherent. My apologies.
