Go Green
Posted by admin on Mar 24, 2009
Go Green is an indispensable resource for the grown-up greenies who have accepted the philosophy and are ready to spread it-beyond just their own homes. Go Green offers user-friendly suggestions and case studies for individuals, schools, hospitals, businesses and communities on building or remodeling a green home, starting green programs in the classroom or at hospitals, and finding out what really matters about transportation, food, and renewable energy.
In a recent study by Capital E, researchers found that a typical green school involves a modest two percent increase in cost, but would save $100,000 per year in energy costs alone-enough to hire two new teachers, buy 500 new computers, or purchase 5,000 new textbooks.
Author Bio: Nancy Taylor has written a weekly column called “Going Green” for the last five years for the newspaper Planet Jackson Hole and also teaches “The Art of Green Living and Building.” She is focusing on establishing green-building guidelines for the community of Jackson and Teton County, Wyoming where she resides.
