I think a lot about the hype v. substance issue in green building, and would like to believe that the two are not mutually exclusive. To some extent the green building movement should be proud that all things green have been co-opted by the marketeers. It was the people at the fringe who were buidling green years ago that raised everyone's levels of apprecation. For me, instead of shmearing green lipstick on houses, the meaningful frontier is sourcing locally and resourcefully. Thanks Redfin for putting my project at 19th and Pine on the blog.
