Clean Air Gardening is moving into a new building, and we’re looking for help with choosing how to best spend our $50,000 “make our building green” budget.
Read more about what we’re doing at the Practical Environmentalist blog. You’ll find a photo and the full description of what we’re planning over there.
Leave us a comment here, or on the other blog with your suggestions for our green renovation!

awnings and/or window shades, attic fan a good idea.(mind fire codes). reflective paint on existing roof ?
ventilate awhile at night or early am with cool outside air and shut down fan/or convective vent after sun rise till pm warm-up ? intake air from shaded north side of building, >??, or swamp cooler ??

task lighting, if needed, with compact flourescents bulbs in articulated lamps.
laptops vs. desktops ? company discount transit passes; showers, lockers for bicycle commuters.
13,000 sq.ft. wow! good luck
