Teen Builds Urban Aquaponics System | Vancouver News

A high school junior, Jordan Karambelas, is turning her Girl Scout Gold Award into a green revolution with a slick, space-saving aquaponics system at her school. Using fish waste to fertilize plants in a closed-loop setup, this compact design fits balconies or patios and conserves water while growing fresh food. Built with help from permaculture guru Mike Garcia in just a weekend, the redwood structure even taps into city water when needed—plus, the soothing sound of flowing water’s a hit with students. Jordan’s project proves urban food production is possible without a farm, sparking interest in her new permaculture club and showing what young innovators can achieve for a sustainable future.
