Recently, REALTOR Magazine explored the trend toward green-built homes and the demand for sustainable products. "It's easy sounding green" the article reports, "...the triple whammy of gas prices, global warming, and health concerns about chemicals has made green buildings red hot. ... 
OK, guess I waited long enough to get into this. What sparked me is a email I did get today from MortgageIT and the new green program they have developed to help. Now I guess we know that everyone is jumping on board (even us mortgage companies to help were we … (1 comments)
Rain is pouring down outside my St. John’s, Newfoundland home today and that may not sound strange to many of you but it is to us – it should be snowing. Here we call it Sheila’s Brush (which is a snow storm just before St. Patrick’s Day). Now I know most … (9 comments)
Ann Arbor, Michigan has a saying and it is repeated all year long, "Go Blue". While I still think its great to be blue it's also really really great to be GREEN as well in Ann Arbor.
People assume that the world is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it. Well, I'm here to tell you there IS something we can do about it. Just imagine if everyone took baby steps to going green? Can you imagine how things would change? No, I'm … (6 comments)
I like the color green. It's the color of the trees when they're in full bloom, our lawn when there's no water shortage, the name of the place I try to hit my golf ball in one or two shots every time and, last but not least - it's the … (18 comments)
It seems that, today, green is all the rage. It's hot, hot, HOT! Suddenly, in every magazine, newspaper, online forum, "green" is on everyone's lips (or fingertips). It's an overnight sensation! However, like most overnight sensations, that's not the whole story. Like the movie star who worked as a carpenter to … (7 comments)
After reading janeAnne's post yesterday about the 'Green is red hot' contest, I thought to myself how fitting her words for a title depicting a contest about what is happening in the world today. Not specifically THE world, but more specifically the developed world. Then on further thought, I realized those … (14 comments)
Philadelphia is the home of the EAGLES. Green is our favorite color. ( atleast for most of us ) I hope even those who are not EAGLES' fans like the color of money.

For many years I thought being in the green was way more important than being green. I also was under the misconception that you couldn't do both. It seemed for too many years that the two views were mutually exclusive. A few years later and I am began to understand that being green … (3 comments)
It seems like every time we hear "going green" it seems to entail spending a lot of "green" to get there. Many of these new and innovative ideas are great, but do you have thousands of dollars stuffed under your mattress to pay for them? So you don't have the "green" to "go green?" 
Being of Irish desent, born "Kelley", I pride myself on my heritage. It's most often observerd in my fair skin, green eyes, and occasionally fiesty temperament. I did get to visit my homeland back in 1997 and enjoyed that 3 weeks immensely. Beautiful country and lovely poeple. I can't wait to … (4 comments)
In today's economy of rising oil prices, (the per barrel price hit $109 yesterday), people are looking for ways to save money at the gas pump.
Green Building is growing around the Nation like Wildfire! Houston is by no means an exception to this growth. Green seems to be the thing to talk about around here, and the term used by someone last week was Cocktail Conversation. No doubt that folks are hopping on the bandwagon and advertising … (16 comments)
Did you know that there is a station in Rocklin, CA that teaches the public about compassion to our earth? With emphasis on our environment - I was surprised to find this place by accident. 
Okay, I admit it, I'm not very green at this point - or I should say, I'm VERY green at being green. BUT I've learned an awful lot reading all the really cool posts in this ECO-friendly and Green Group. And I've found that there really are things I can do … (37 comments)

And some might say “we” are going to get burned by it in the long run.Not classically greenwashing, environmental credit banking is a huge and growing industry feeding on both our communal desire to … (9 comments)
