Abstract Details

2007, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This paper reports on materials available to create reused and recycled park furnishings for the Mill Creek Greenway Trail in Cincinnati, Ohio. Research was done during a summer 2005 internship with Mill Creek Restoration Project to identify materials that were available for use in the proposed Mill Creek Greenway Trail that would reflect a sustainability ethic. In other words, in what ways could furnishings for the greenway trial be created (multi-use trail, benches, signs, landscaping materials, etc) that would help protect the environmentally sensitive Mill Creek, while also reflecting and encouraging environmentalism in the Cincinnati region. Eight criteria were used when analyzing each material for possible use: proposed use for material, cost, durability, aesthetics, safety and health, sustainability and environmental impact, life cycle costs, and local, regional, state and national availability.
