The day kicked off with a school-wide assembly where the students and teachers extended their appreciation for their new playground and touched on the importance of play. “It is on the playground where our students make their first friends and learn their first new word in English,” explains David Starr, Principal at Edmonds Community School. “It is also on the playground that our students learn the basics of good citizen- ship. They learn to take turns, to share, to work together and to solve problems peacefully. It’s where children learn that laughter sounds the same in every language.” The assembly was followed by the construction of the outdoor playground. Part of the playground was pre-installed by Habitat on a strict time-line and had been designed, manufactured and shipped in less than eight weeks.

HABITAT IS GREEN

Did you know Habitat is an eco-friendly company? Going Green with your project is easier than you think.

Together we can design a space that leaves a positive impact on the community both, socially and environmentally. Purchase a playground structure from Habitat and through our Global ReLeaf Program, we will donate trees (based on the size of your structure) to offset the carbon footprint of your structure to an area in need. Our playground manufacturer, Landscape Structures, is ISO Certifi ed – meaning they are in compliance with the ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Standard. They also use a kaizen process aimed at eliminating waste known as “lean manufacturing”, which allows them to create the most environmentally-conscious playground products available.

Our permalene panels are made up of 73% post-consumer recycled materials and our Evos and Weevos playstructures were designed to minimize the manufacturing impact on the environment on an overall level. Evos has a 30% smaller carbon footprint than traditional play structures on the market and Weevos has a 17% smaller carbon footprint. When you choose to work with Habitat, you are working with an environmentally responsible company who represents equally responsible suppliers.

Together, we all can work green, play green and live green!
