Sometimes there are frustrating limitations on how green one can be. For instance, solar panels may not be practical if there are lots of trees in the area, and one is torn between the protection of the trees and the harnessing of solar energy. But many small efforts add up to something significant--Glynis points out how much energy is wasted in houses--and, perhpas most impoortant for me, the effort to be green in my own circumstances has given me a much larger understanding of environmental issues of several kinds. Finally, I must say that Glynis is a wonderful exponent of green building--knowledgeable and committed, without being doctrinaire. I should know; she and her husband Hideaki Ariizumi designed my new house!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
