Greenbuilding Conference…It’s a lot of Greenhouse Gas (hot air) in Here
Just got back from this year's Greenbuild conference, an absolutely HUGE annual builder's conference, this year in Boston, MA. There were probably 1,000 vendors selling everything from flooring, to rain barrels, to reusable shingles, concrete, desks, automated homes…you name it.
For a bunch of stuff, my wife turned to me and said, "Is that really eco-friendly?" Probably not.
Which boils down to one thing: call something "Eco" or "Green" and it sells.
So this year, I'm becoming the first "Green, Eco-friendly Landlord". Just ask me what I've done to go green and I'll get into the weeds about the flyash content of my cinder blocks. I'll talk about the eco-friendly asbestos and plaster I use. Will you buy it?
Apparently most people would.
