Green Building Washing Tons
Always ask "Why are we (and/or they) building this?" Is it really a green building?
Recycled TP Is Just As Good
February is closing and I haven't blogged here yet!!! Crazy. Life has slowed down some finally and I end up keeping articles for this blog, so I'll have to pull them together very soon.
This is the second day in a row that the NY Times have had interesting articles.
I enjoy this one about recycled toilet paper.
"Cottonelle and Scott, has gotten as much as 22 percent of its pulp from producers who cut trees in Canadian boreal forests where some trees are 200 years old." [Ouch!]
Seventh Generation anyone?
In other up dates, the Stimulus Bill passed and now energy efficiency is getting federal money. Yeah! I'm really interested in the part about "weatherization of low income homes." I'm way past interested, there's a month left in my internship, I'm a HERS rater and a Building Analyst with BPI and I may even decide to become a LEED AP here next month, we'll see. Things are good and I'm still very happy that slowly things really are changing for the better.
