Nathaniel also coordinated the installation of a green roof on his school, where his Energy-Environment Research Club (E2RC) uses the venue to discuss environmentally sustainable practices. Nathaniel is a member of Solar One's Energy Advisory Committee, and also an Advisory Committee Member of the New York Agriculture in the Classroom through the Department of Horticulture at Cornell University. Last year Nathaniel was recognized by The City Gardens Club of New York and received the Melville Award for his work in environmental education. When Nathaniel isn't developing novel curriculum about sustainable energy, he can be found traveling, playing soccer, basketball, and working in his urban garden (which produces tomatoes and garlic for most of the year).
