Carbon neutral architecture
Carbon neutrality and general care of the environment is something Maija and I have been getting into more and more. Maija is very likely changing her thesis topic to something politically environmental, for reasons that will become public soon. A part of our interest in sustainability is due to moving to Finland, where everyone cares about the environment. We break our garbage into 5 groups for recycling… not because we’re especially good people but that’s what our housing complex provides :) I like it here. It’s just the normal thing, to take care of your surroundings.
Laura and Tom Kolbasenko are cool people in Toronto, who I know from working with Laura. There’s a great write up in the Toronto Sun on what their company, Our Cool Blue, is doing. When we eventually need a house, perhaps I will have them design it for us.
i had no idea you had us in one of your blogs :) pretty cool, thanks for the exposure. Here i found a few links you may find interesting: http://www.thinkgreenalliance.com/index.php/thinkgreen-tv/miller-thomson-green-rfp-seminar-tom-kolbasenko-our-cool-blue-architects
