SAY SOMETHING!

Here I am, diligently cranking out these curmudgeonly missives, and I have only gotten one lousy comment (Thank you, Jane). What do I have to do to get someone to pay attention? I am reminded of an old Saturday Night Live skit where Buck Henry had a call in show, but no one called. So he started bringing up outrageous subjects such as “killing puppies” and “no toilets for the blind”, and still, no one called. Please don’t make me resort to something quite so rash. This is green building we are talking about - only the hottest subject in the industry right now – what is it going to take to get you people excited? Maybe I should start talking about the pros and cons of Phillips vs. slotted screws.

It may be more of an issue of "Lost in the fog" than not caring for your commentary. I have only reciently found your blog and I'm not in the habit of reading them... Sorry. However I wanted to see (since I found out you just recently started it) really what you had to say. Carl there is so much "Green Washing" and bad information being put out there that for those of us that have been into it for years now (nearly 25 now)you statr being a bit how should I say bored with it. I will say thus far (I've read all of your stuff) your right on. I would love to see some information on Funding (that really works) for Green projects etc. We are a Design?Build firm that ONLY does and specializes in Energy Efficient Green Building in the midwest. Keep digging and putting out there, but can we still laugh a bit at the Saturday Night skit?
