Live Broadcast a Success

Many thanks to the folks we interviewed on the air during our live radio broadcast at this year's Green Home Seminar and Tour at Blacksburg Recreation Center.  Steve Ayers did a fabulous job emceeing the show, and I enjoyed chatting with Abi Convery, formerly of the New River Valley Planning District Commission; Ed Tuchler of Shelter Alternatives; Colin Arnold of the Community Design Studio at Community Housing Partners; and Bill McGuire of Builderscrete/Auz-Bloc.

Here are some of the themes we covered:
*The increase in people's awareness of environmental issues, as well as the increase in participation at the Green Home Seminar and Tour.
*The usefulness of home energy audits, like those performed by Blacksburg's Energy Check.
*Green Home Remodeling: The importance of taking an holistic approach to green home improvements and envisioning the home as a system of components working together for energy efficiency and health.
*Small steps individuals can take to improve the energy efficiency, comfort, or health of their homes.
*Auz-Bloc product and the open house we were to hold at 153 Gracie Lane in Floyd on Sunday, April 27th.
