Weekly Round-Up

Welcome to the most recent installment of our weekly round-up of BuildingGreenTV.com's reader-generated content. Actually, this time around, we've got a two-week round-up for you. Sorry we missed last week's report; there were just too many leftovers to eat!

To start with, we want to share with you an incredibly cool and important project that one of our most prolific contributors, Slow Home. The project is called Project Outrage and it is an online protest against "poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing and environmental neglect in the housing industry." Learn all about it at the Slow Home Project Outrage Blog.

Slow Home also has their most recent Slow Home Report up in our Share section. This week's report includes a visit with Mexican architect Jorge Gracia -- check it out!

Elsewhere in the Share section, myleenjan shares more on their home-building process with "Thinking outside the building box, some sources." Read all about their SIPS, blue jean insulation and ventilation ducts ...

Lastly, GreenModernKits.com writes in with a thoughtful meditation on thrifting in their post, "Consider Thrift." Is it possible to Over-Thrift? Read GreenModernKits.com's post and let us know what you think.

Have a wonderful weekend!
