As the establishing frontrunner of Westside Atlanta’s emerging design district, Minneapolis-based furniture retailer Room &#38; Board broke ground in May 2009 as the anchoring cornerstone tenant of the mixed-use White Provision development. Nationally acclaimed with a local point of view, Room &#38; Board’s 11 U.S. stores actively support the protection of natural resources, from selecting wood harvested exclusively from well-managed local and regional forests to partnering with small, family-owned businesses sharing a passion for the tradition of American furniture-making.
Dedicated to harmonizing social, economic and environmental responsibility while crafting heirloom quality ...]]></description>

Gwinnett residents are now saving 54 million gallons of water every year thanks to a rebate program that started two years ago. The rebates pay homeowners either $50 or $100 for replacing old, inefficient toilets. About 5,000 have been replaced so far.
Water Resources Deputy Director Peter Frank said the more efficient toilets save the average customer about 15 percent on the water bill and help reduce demand for water from Lake Lanier. He said the County has spent about $400,000 on the program since it began and the savings are ...]]></description>

Minor water leaks waste more than a trillion gallons of water each year in U.S. homes. “In a single home, leaks can waste more than 10,000 gallons every year – enough to fill a backyard swimming pool,” said Peter Frank with Gwinnett County’s Department of Water Resources. “Gwinnett County wants to help homeowners save money on their utility bills and save water in our community and for future generations.”
With that in mind, the Water Resources department staff is promoting “Fix a Leak Week” during March 15 – 21, 2010. The ...]]></description>

Make your own rain barrel.  Then brag about it. 55 gallons of rain?  Yeah, we&#8217;ve got it right here, baby. Take home a fully functional rain barrel that you make yourself (don&#8217;t worry&#8211;it&#8217;s easy) made from a recycled 55 gallon barrel.  You&#8217;ll be ready to start collecting rain to water your garden or lawn&#8211;even in case of water restrictions.

Google can now buy and sell energy in bulk thanks to approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). However, Internet giant Google doesn’t have plans to sell energy to consumers or anyone else.  Google plans to use its FERC certification in order to manage its own energy supplies as efficiently as possible. I suppose it does take quite a bit of energy to run the world’s largest search engine!  If you think your power bill is high, imagine the energy required to run all of those servers.

28 ways to make a LEED platinum building &#8211; Construction Week Online
The ASHRAE headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia in the US has been awarded a LEED Platinum rating, the highest certification available. MEP Middle East takes a closer look at the project as a landmark case study in green building.
As an innovator in energy-efficient technology, ASHRAE felt its headquarters should serve as a showcase of sustainability. “The resulting design truly reflects that sentiment, as well as how ASHRAE standards and guidelines can be put into practice to result in a high-performance ...]]></description>

By   Paul   Pugliese

March is usually the time of year that local garden centers begin major advertising campaigns to sell lawn fertilizers. But depending on the type of grass you have, it may be too early to start fertilizing your lawn. In general, the best time to fertilize a lawn is when it is actively growing.
Fescue should be fed in the fall
Fescue lawns and other cool-season grasses that don’t go dormant should be fertilized in the fall (October) and spring (March). Most other lawns, including bermudagrass, zoysia, ...]]></description>

Appraisal values may be what is limiting the number of green homes being built, according to the National Home Builders Association. While we know the value that comes with energy-efficiency, lenders and appraisers are not fully recognizing the value of green innovation.
However, don’t let that deter you from building green or remodeling with eco-friendly products. Eventually the appraisal process will come around, and, when it comes time to sell, buyers will love the green features of your home.
Manufacturers of sustainable products for today’s new homes are Kohler, Marvin Windows and Whirlpool and ...]]></description>
