Super article Adam. I just wanted to add that you also had a low V.O.C. finish used to coat your hardwood floors at home. This greatly reduced the toxins that would have been released if a traditional polyurethane had been used. Although the original materials used in construction weren’t “green”, you have made great environmental upgrades to it.

Geat article. I read the piece in the responce above and that was a great piece. I think its great that more and more houses are being built with sustainable energy in mind. I think its great too that people can learn to do small things to begin to save money in their homes.

The Earth Brick home you are referring to was covered in a very nice piece by Fritz Hubig on the Prince of Petworth Blog February 3rd http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2010/02/an-earth-home-renovation-by-fritz-hubig/

and the architect John Spears is the pioneer behind develping the Earth Home here for the Washington region. He currently has built one in Falls Chruch, Bethesda and DC to show it can be built in both an urban setting and in a more traditional type of neighborhood.

The steady stream of comments on the PoP blog certainly demonstrates that consumers are looking for homes that really showcase what is possible and valuable content that informs them of such visionaries within the green arena.
