We're been reading a lot lately about going Green. Its in the paper that the Charlotte is looking to go Green and we've been trying to figure out exactly what that means. Apparently, that means using technology and alternative building materials and methods for conservation of resources and minimizing the human impact on the planet. There are some really neat products out there that actually cost the same or less than many of our existing products or they offer such energy and water savings that they pay for themselves in a matter of years. We've learned about Green Roofs, Rainwater Harvesting, Grassy Pavers (asphalt replacement things), Solar Hot Water Heaters, Solar Arrays, Insulation Materials, etc.
Check out these cool local (mostly local) websites that we found on the subject:
Brea Water Systems
Green Roofing
A Information Site
Discovery Place's Green Roof
Grassy Pavers
This is neat stuff. I wonder if computers and the Internet were the boom of the last twenty years will Green be the boom of the next twenty?
