Hoping you can convince the “poweres that be” that now is 
the time to rebuild sustainably.

Thanks for this post, Jason - 

We only lost power for two days as well and had minor tree issues.  
And I have been and am so worried about people who might be stuck in homes or 
apartments without enough food or water and resources.  I am eager to know 
what we can do to really help.  Personally and professionally.

To the extent I can help through Rate It Green in terms of hosting 
information exchange and conversations about rebuilding, however specific they 
need to be by topic or community, count me in for the effort.  I would 
consider adding features I might not have planned yet if it can 
help.      

Personally, I am interested in helping directly as opportunities arise and 
individuals can find ways to be helpful and effective.  Maybe we can 
organize donations of time and services, whether people donate planning help, or 
on site expertise or labor, or are willing to just go help in time with specific 
rebuilding projects.  I'd go put in some time working on a building in 
person.  I think this opportunity is also going to exist for some 
time.  

Maybe in this rebuilding, there are both environmental opportunities to do 
better at the same time we can offer some support for people who might already 
need work and who might need work now as a result of this disruption and 
damage.  This is really a time for the triple bottom 
line.    

Maybe Habitat can get involved, since I know they have experience in 
organizing large numbers of volunteers.  Just a thought.  Who out 
there knows what green and other volunteer efforts are in progress?  

Thanks,
Allison

We were lucky enough, here in Maryland, to only be down for 2 days 
from
Sandy with no damage. But we are following an inquiry about helping 
the
rebuilding process in NJ and NY so that as families rebuild they do it 
with
a priority on green attributes and, in the shadow of Katrina & 
?passive
survivability?, to be prepared for the next time.

Given that both NY Governor Cuomo and mayor Bloomberg have both 
pegged
climate change on Sandy and said they expect this to happen again, there?s 
a
window to move people into proaction.

We would welcome any info, advice, leads for organizations, 
associations,
chapters, NGOs, and agencies to talk to, and other thoughts relating to 
the
state of the building and remodeling markets, gauging the absorption 
of
green, potholes and barriers, how permitting works, the use of unions 
and
subcontractors, and other concerns on the ground that can 
make-or-break
success.

Thx,

Jason Holstine
