Green Building! ... in ... Northern Idaho?


Yep. Northern Idaho. That bastion of forward thinking and tree hugging environmentalism has it's first green built housing development.

/end sarcasm

Ok. So, Northern Idaho isn't the most progressive place in the world. However, you know the time has come for green building when Sandpoint, ID starts developing green. This story about a housing development built from sustainably grown timber, energy star windows and no "outgassing" carpets came out of Boisie State Radio. It got airtime on Oregon Public Radio a few days ago. It seems like almost every day now I'm seeing green building articles in the newspapers and in the MSM in general.

Here is the transcript from OPB: Home Builders See Green In North Idaho
