# Yale Climate Connections interviews ECT’s Jason Cooper about a new plant selection tool

The Yale Climate Connections (YCC) interviewed ECT Group Manager Jason Cooper about an innovative plant selection design tool that helps people choose the correct plants for their rain gardens. The tool supports green stormwater infrastructure projects by simplifying and standardizing the design process for native landscaping, rain gardens, green roofs, bioswales, and bioretention basins. ECT created the tool for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD).
