Green Thursday: Build a Better Tomorrow


One of my favorite Saturday morning indulgences is making pancakes and watching "This Old House." (See my other TV addictions in the list in the left column of LipsYard.)

Master Carpenter Norm Abram and the gang are in Austin, TX adding a second floor to a bungalow. The twist is, they're doing as much "Green Renovation" as they can, that is, using as many renewable products and procedures as possible.


Am I the only one who sees the irony of using President Bush's back yard to move the "Green Movement" forward, when his administration barely recognizes global warming?




How can we build green for a better tomorrow here in Wisconsin? Check out the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance website to access a database containing information about green building, a resource directory, with members, services and materials, and case studies showcasing a variety of green building ideas and techniques.

Every Green Thursday, LipsYard will deal with an issue vital to our global environment.
