One of the most interesting things I learned on my trip to Battery Park City was that the park holds composting in high esteem. The park was originally created using soil and rock from large construction projects. The compost of every business and residence in the area is added to the composting facility at the park. I found that the park was similar to an oasis, and was truly a beautiful place. Even the library uses energy-efficient lighting. Many features were designed using recycled materials.
