One nice thing about being a green company is that we tend to attract sponsors who share our vision for a healthier planet. Which is why we're extremely pleased to announce that Burt's Bees has joined us as a PBS sponsor, and in addition has kindly agreed to sponsor this weekly roundup of the best of Building Green. If you aren't familiar with the company, check out their profile and say hello.
So what's new this week? Here are just a few items that caught our attention:
You may have heard of the slow food movement, which is all about savoring the good things in life. We're pleased to have a new member in Slow Home. Curious about life in the slow lane? Check out their first video blog post.
Have you ever been curious about how those fabulous prefabs you see in the pages of Dwell, Metropolis and Sunset actually go up? Reader BartP happens to live near the site of a Michelle Kauffman project in California, and is documenting the process in an almost daily series of posts. Warning: highly addictive content! Elsewhere, John Commoner profiles Danish prefab architect Soren Korsgaard.
Danny in Redwood City announces the opening of the Green Building Exchange, fiziwig turns us on to the Small House Society (100 square feet anyone?), and Rhuth muses on what it means--or what it could mean--to be a green realtor.
Lots of you have written to Kevin with questions about green building practices, products and the like, and we've begun to post them over in our questions section, where Kevin and anyone else who feels the call can weigh in.
