#LetsMakeASEEN: The Door Campaign
“‘I was really passionate about urban agriculture, but wanted to find ways to combine it with education so that students could see sustainable ways of improving their own communities while enhancing employable skills,’ he said. Mr. Swatson, 25, of the North Side, wanted to open doors for young people and invest in their success. The Door Campaign was born. I visited Brashear High School in Beechview recently to see what his organization is doing to engage students — specifically using aquaponics, the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics in which farmed fish provide nutrients for plants grown in water.”
