13. There are more than a few builders (me included)...
who prescribe to green and sustainable tenets like these...

www.notsobig.com

www.sbicouncil.com

www.realgoods.com/

(shameless self promotion... www.kooserrun.com)

www.aibd.com ... is the site for the American Institute of Building Designers, which is setting goals for combining the elements of Green Building, Sustainability and Universal Design, and will soon be in the forefront of the movement.

Universal Design is the concept of designing a home so it will fit and be very functional through all stages of the owners' lives. Right now, every home I design for a Boomer generation owner has a good bit of UD in it.

Hire green. Not all builders are bad for the environment. Just some, and even those will say they are meeting demand.

Let's demand something different.
