Thanks for the heads-up. I'm really interested in the "Building With The Earth" and "Building Green in the City" workshops. I'm a carpenter in the city, so most of my work is remodeling. SO MUCH WASTE! I try to bring as much as I can to a program that re-uses building materials, but there is still a lot of junk going to landfills. Many of my clients are super rich and have no interest in re-using materials. They would rather have a brand new product. The solar energy workshop also looks interesting. Countries like Germany are requiring up to 20% energy use to be solar in the next decade. They are actually getting close to that mark already. Solar energy IS viable and the technology gets better when it facilitated. Again, thanks for the post Anu.
