We've chosen not to have any advertising on our blog - okay, except Marcia's inspiring book!! - but we do support the idea of Global Giving.
Basically, what they do is match donors with nonprofit organizations around the world.
What do you have to give?

Hi Folks:
It’s Friday evening as I write this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. I had the opportunity this past week to watch a webinar on Biomimicry presented by Marie Zanowick, Certified Biomimicry Professional at the US EPA. The talk was called, “Biomimicry in Action: Using Nature-Based Principals to Promote Sustainable [...]
Hi Folks: It’s Thursday as I write this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post, even though you won’t get to read it until tomorrow. It’s just that tomorrow also happens to be the birthday of someone very special to me, and, well, we have other plans.
Today is also Thanksgiving for our [...]
Hi Folks:
A short ‘Being Green‘ post this week, and a day late it is, too. T’is now November 20, and that means the Greenbuild International Expo is winding down for this year; people are taking down their booths and taking in their final tours of the ‘Windy City’. I [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again, and time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. The title for this week’s post came from a webinar I watched this week called, “What is Biophilia, and What Does It Have To Do with Sustainability and Illusions of Nature in Architecture?“ It was the title [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again, and time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. Before I get started, if you happen to be in Victoria, BC this weekend, the Cascadia GBC Vancouver Island Branch Emerging Professionals and Jawl Properties are hosting an art exhibition with eight artists on the theme of sustainability. The [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again, and time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. I wasn’t going to write about this, but the biggest ‘green’ news of late seems to be the class action suit filed in the US against the USGBC and their LEED certification; after reading the articles [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again, so T.G.I.F. to all of you! Actually, Marcia and I believe it’s important to give thanks every day, but that’s another topic entirely.
So, the big news this week is…
“The International Living Building Institute celebrates the world’s first Living Buildings.” [...]
Hi Folks!
Happy Friday!! The basis for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post comes in part from a couple of articles I read recently on the ED+C magazine website. The first, titled, ‘An Ethical Equation’ was quite surprising to me and begins with the following:
“According to a recent study by [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again, so that means it’s ‘Being Green‘ day here on our blog. It seems to me there are basically two ways to progress, and both can have their place. One is to take an existing technology and improve on it. For example, virtually every fixed-wing aircraft [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday has wound its way around once again, so it must be time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. Now, if you’ve been around for more than the past few decades you probably remember a time before car alarms were invented. While these alarms have gotten a lot [...]
