Rotarians got an insider's look recently at the environmentally friendly Brock Environmental Center in Virginia Beach. Just ask any of the folks pictured above how composting toilets work! The new center was built by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation on waterfront land once slated to hold thousands of condominiums. The environmental education center was constructed with locally sourced materials, including re-purposed gym floors from area schools that were torn down. The building generates its own electricity and water and is vying for the first Living Building Award given in Virginia. Christy Everett, former club member and head of the CBF's regional office, led our tour. Jean Owens was our Rotary host. A picnic afterwards in the breezeway on a beautiful-weather Friday was a bonus.
