Film: THE GREENING OF SOUTHIE - MaineToday
FILM SUMMARY The Greening of Southie opens at orientation for the Macallen Building construction crew, where seasoned workers gather to hear about the “green building” they are being asked to build. Boston’s union plumbers, carpenters and tile-workers want to know, “What’s the point?”
The Macallen development team is seeking a “LEED Gold” rating for their new building, an objective achieved by collecting points for various green technologies. The first points––local concrete and recycled steel––introduce us to Bob Gottlich, an ironworker who, to his surprise, enjoys the idea of working on a “recycled building.” Others are more skeptical, like Wayne Phillips, a Trinidadian laborer who shakes his head at the word “environment,” and Carrie Mowbray, a waste hauler who admits she “used to think of green as being dorky.”
