I like creating the new and refurbishing the old. I make my living as an environmental engineer. Let’s all make the world a little more interesting every day.

This past weekend we had another successful honey harvest from our Bloom bees at Blue Plains. Lots of delicious honey from our local pollinators!

Construction is under way - a welcomed sight!! This is part of DC Water’s vision to recover resources (nutrients, carbon, heat, and solar energy) throughout the organization. More to come...

Here is a sneak peak at the solar carports now being installed at our Blue Plains plant. Total energy from this phase will be 4.5 MW. #GreenEnergy @SustainDC

Saw this as I was walking the dog tonight. Good to remember we all have each other.

@thegnarlyghost Well, the monitor lizard were predesigned to provide forest floor management, to get rid of dry brush, since the terrraformed Mars does not do it naturally. However, they evolved quickly and it all went horribly wrong....

[Chris Peot @Chrispeot]

@thegnarlyghost Monitor lizards with dragon DNA, allowing them to cook their prey, making the protein more easily digestible and increasing brain size in the process. They eventually evolve into sentient, intelligent animals, rivaling humans in brain capacity. Just a thought.

@leadfreeH2OinDC @WayneWGriffith @dcwater Yes. I’d be glad to go over it with you. We, too, want to protect our soil and water.

Out this afternoon (me in the kayak, Saul Kinter on the dock) sorting and untangling baskets of mussels in prep for measurement tomorrow - joint research btwn DC Water and the Anacostia Watershed Society. Great to be on the river with the heron and the jumping bass!

My favorite (and strangest) moment from the Jammin’ 4 Water event - AC/DC cover with a bagpipe solo and Elvis on backing vocals! Great night!

[Chris Peot @Chrispeot]

Another amazingly successful Jammin’ 4 Water event this year in New Orleans last night, raising $ through music for great organizations like Kids Connection Haiti, who funds water professional training for at risk youth. Great people doing great work!

[Chris Peot @Chrispeot]

Check out this coverage of an event we held last week. Great exchange of info with a whole lot of farmers. Bloom is carbon, nutrients, and energy! https://t.co/sIsIPuZPPY

I’m growing a native Paw Paw tree (Asimina triloba) on my desk in potting soil we made with Bloom. This is the first batch - it’s working well in the greenhouse. Hope to be bagging it soon!

[Chris Peot @Chrispeot]

Check out the grass In our growth trials using Bloom in blended topsoil mixes. Bloom + construction soil = lush green grass! Glad to have a blending facility and greenhouse to work with!

[Chris Peot @Chrispeot]

Look what I bought this weekend at Homestead Gardens! So proud to have this DC Water asset available for sale in bags (finally!!). It’s an asset and a valuable resource. Let’s all use Bloom, grow beautiful gardens, and sequester some carbon!!
