Dear Friends,

Thank you all so much for making this possible. I'm sitting at my desk here on the first day at my new job as executive director of the windowfarms project! Maya and I are so grateful to all of you as we work on our plans for the upcoming year.

We will be in touch again soon.

If any of you were not able to contribute in time, the nonprofit will also be taking donations by check. Shoot me an email at britta@windowfarms.org.

Thank you again.

Britta and Maya

      I think you should aim to cover the largest window in the world with a window farm:
