Whether
you are building a new home or are thinking of making improvements
to your existing home, paying attention to green building concerns
will produce a better building, make for a healthier and more effective
living space and contribute to the sustainability of our natural
resources.
A
building scientist visiting this area once remarked, "You guys
can get away with a lot here because you are not dealing with any
serious extremes; if you wait long enough the problem will go away."
A
bit overstated perhaps, but it means that anyone wishing to make
strides in green building is not going to find much help in official
governmental channels or through building industry organizations
in this area...yet.

development will require us to think deeply about the impact
our buildings have on people and on the earth. We will need
ecological building methods, as well as new ways to arrange
buildings and public spaces to form communities." Jim LaRue |
