The talk shows yesterday were all abuzz with the announcement that greenhouse gas emissions have reduced globally by 3% in 2009 due to the slowdown in the economy (according to the Global Carbon Project). They likened it to hundreds of power plants shutting down for several weeks. Basically, we've slowed down …

Last week at Greenbuild, my company decided to host a booth as we always do. Usually at our booth we talk about how great our green buildings are, what fabulous books we've written, etc. But not this year. This year we decided to capture on video those many inspirational people we …

I just noticed this photograph of the Asian Pacific countries gathering in Singapore this weekend taking about their emissions pledges in advance of Copenhagen. Now, does anything seem strange to you about this photograph? Yeah, disposable water bottles? How can they possibly be serious about climate change issues posing in front …

So you want to be green? Sometimes it involves a trade-off...there's only so much money and time available for upgrades! A new survey indicates that more homeowners are likely to invest in kitchen and bathroom renovations or floor finish replacement (appearance-focused) rather than energy efficiency projects like replacing HVAC or windows.Question: …

Last year, we shared a fun favorite: walkscore. A cool tool then...even cooler now. Walkscore now incorporates transit information like bus stops in its calculations. Pretty awesome.Check out what came up for the HOK WDC Office:A score of 98 isn't too shabby. Of course, one of the restaurants on the list …

I just read an article in Washington, D.C.'s local CityPaper this week about how a good portion of our city's recycled trash is picked up and co-mingled with the regular trash. In 1988, the city set a goal of recycling 45 percent of its trash by 2004. The city is only …

As a little kid, I remember very clearly listening to my mother tell me that bicyclists need to follow the rules of the road, just like drivers. Granted, at that point, I wasn't riding my bike in very heavily trafficked areas (around the park, to my friend's house a few doors …

We've heard a lot about greenwashing in the past (false claims regarding the green-ness of a product, service, etc), but have you heard of localwashing? I ran across an article discussing how global corporations are now claiming to be local.I hadn't been thinking about this concept, but sadly, I wasn't surprised …

ABC?s consumer correspondent, Elisabeth Leamy, ran a story on ?greenwashing? today. Greenwashing? is a term, first used in the 1990s, that refers to the act of misleading others regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service. For example, a bottle of toxic cleaning …

Just ran across an interesting article about "agriburbia" in the Denver Post. So, what is agriburbia? Essentially, it's integrating suburban development with agriculture on a large-scale (more than your basic herb garden). So, you build your suburban housing development, office park, golf course, whatever, but still use the remaining land …

We've talked a lot about companies doing good things, and also about electronics recycling. I'm all for reduce, reuse, recycle, so any time I hear about new programs, I smile a little bit.I recently received a press release from Mistubishi (below), so I thought I'd share their new plans for reducing …

Because of the focus on natural light and ventilation, green buildings are typically more ?open? than traditional office space, with a larger number of enclosed offices. Many claim that this general trend has helped energy use, but not necessarily productivity when it comes to acoustics or visual distractions. When employees are …

I'm a huge fan of social influence, real time feedback and other incentives to encourage green behavior - even if it is subliminal. But making the greener, more socially beneficial choice also fun? Now that is something I can support with GUSTO.Volkswagen is sponsoring a new campaign called The Fun Theory... …
