• SERF by ExampleApril 22, 2011
  Lansing ----- April 22, 2011 is Earth Day, and Michigan State University (MSU) interns at the Society of Environmentally Responsible Facilities (SERF) are giving it their all this year. SERF interns Sarah Redwine, Meredith Nelson and Josh Graybiel will be building rain gardens at the Wolverine Development Corporation office. Rain gardens are depressions that improve water quality in urban areas where rainwater runs off of roofs, driveways, walkways, parking lots and lawns. Storm water soaks into the ground instead of flowing into storm drains and causing erosion or water pollution. Plants absorb excess water, filtering it through soil layers and root systems before entering the groundwater and removing chemicals and other substances found in urban environments.
