The High Point Center Video Project
The Interviewees
Interviewees included Neighborhood House staff and volunteers who have come to America from countries around the world – Cambodia, Somalia, Vietnam, Mexico and Ethiopia. The sustainable practices they talk about from home are often done out of necessity and highlight the universal need for environmentalism.
Other interviewees included contractors who were responsible for the many sustainable features at the High Point Center. One installed the solar panels. Another chose drought-tolerant plants for the landscaping. The videos illustrate the range of skills and expertise needed to build a state-of-the-art the High Point Center.
