Support 758, Boost the Economy and Save the Environment

On Monday I posted an article from The Huffington Post regarding a correlation between energy efficiency and job opportunities. Over the last year, 1 in 5 California workers who have lost their jobs came from the construction sector. Assembly Bill 758 could put these people back to work.

Go Gophers!

Just wanted to give a shout out to my aluma mater, the University of Minnesota, for their new, LEED silver football stadium. It is the first LEED certified collegiate or professional football facility in the country! See story below.

"A Win-Win for Energy Efficiency and Jobs"

I completely agree with what Matt has written. We hope to contract several of these out-of-work construction workers for green remodels, retrofits, PV installations etc.

Thanks Global Green USA for sponsoring AB 758. The future is looking greener!

PARK(ing) Day

It's that time of year again! Today is Park[ing] Day, where citizens, groups, architecture firms and others take a city parking space and turn it into a park. Anyone can participate, though it is strictly a non-commercial project, intended to promote creativity, civic engagement, critical thinking, unscripted social interactions, generosity and play. Make sure to visit one of your local parks, or create your own, as it only lasts one day.
