I know I have not posted much over the past several months as life lessons have taken center stage for a while. But I did want to comment on the fantastic network of connections that Active Rain has continued to provide over the past six months. I did an interview for Realtor Magazine back in the Spring on different green home features I saw being used in the Asheville area. The article just came out in their September Issue. The magazine found me and our agency EcoSteward Reality through Active Rain.  It never ceases to amaze me just how productive and wide reaching my little Active Rain blog can be in regards to getting the word out about so many important real estate issues, but especially on healthy and energy efficent building information.

Of course, I really think that Green Buidling  is starting to go mainstream if the Realtor Magazine is featuring these types of stories.  The high cost of energy is, of course, a driving factor in the highlighting of energy efficiency construction and building techniques but I believe that this  trend will continue in regards to other healthy and environmentally beneficial aspects of green building such as the use of No VOC paints or unhealthy glues, sustainable floor, countertops, and cabinets materials.

Of course the Home and Garden TV Network has also begun to embrace Green Building in a big way.  As Janeanne mentioned in an earlier post  I also had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a filming of a House Hunters episode on Green Homes this past July (that is another blog!). The House Hunter episode was also a direct connection from Active Rain as that is how they found me. So, Active Rain continues to provide outstanding networking connections as they help the Green Movement go mainstream! What more can you ask for!
