[Greenbuilding] Martha Stewart

[Douglas E Lamb]

Way to go Gennaro,

While I was in school they laughed at my windturbine generator design for
home use.
Still have the drawings and specs I made.
I'm about to install a windturbine in my back yard this spring. (2.5kw)
Unit.

My favorite quote; "The good in the goods of life deserve knowledge of their
appropriate use." Soccrates circa 600bc.
Stands the test of time to this day.
If it can't be recycled back into its original state, modify it and find it
a new use.

Living walls and green roofs are proven to be one hell of a way to reduce
co2 footprint imposed by our reckless construction practices. 

Not every effort has to equal a monitary retrun.
There is an esthetic to take into consideration when developing an
environment.
And if the effort has other consequential benifits besided money so be it. 

As far as space travel is concerned.
I'll take my chances with the little green guys making periodic visits here.
Maybe they're looking for a vacation spot.
Speaking of extratarestrial vacation spots.
I heard about some guy selling plots of land(if you could call it land)on
the moon.

Hope this helps you get over the razzing the green meanies of this list are
dishing out.
Sometimes they can a real pain.

I've had living walls and space travel labeled a joke this week on this
list. I remember being told green roofs were a joke. I got called an idiot
just three years ago for salvaging bricks from a dumpster.
Laugh on.
