Green Training for a Green Environment


2010

Green Design
———————

An effective green training program teaches how to perform green evaluations, green building design principles and techniques, green interior design, and selection of green products. Consumers are more conscious than ever of the environmental factors affecting their lives, homes, businesses and lifestyles. They are asking for designers, architects, and builders to incorporate sustainability into their projects. Governments are encouraging green practitioners to spread knowledge and awareness about the benefits of green living, and offer tax rebates for green adaptations. For example, the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provides funding for green training programs.

It all begins with education about the principles of green design. In order to become a green consultant, one must seek out a green certification program. The objective of a green certification program should be to promote sustainable practices and changes to our built environment. Green training addresses indoor air quality, renewable energy, waste reduction, conservation, resource depletion, carbon footprint, and other environmental issues.

Many institutes and companies offer green training in order to become a green consultant. BecomingGreen, Inc. trains professionals to have a superior understanding of the concepts of green building and green interior designgreen construction practices. A Certified Green Designer can help in building energy efficient homes and offices to reduce the overall energy cost and to enhance the optimum utilization of resources. A Certified Green Specialist can offer sound advise that will help the consumer make environmentally helpful choices and realize that every green action they take has a measurable impact on the environment.

Tina Chaphe is the founder of the National Association of Green Designers and the National Association of Green Specialists. BecomingGreen.Inc. is the training entity for these two associations and was founded and fueled by the desire to have quality green training in the design community. They have newsletters, news articles, and blogs from leading researchers that will keep members abreast of breakthroughs in the green industry.

Go Green at Home With Artificial Grass


2010

Green Design
———————

If that green thumb of yours is itching to scatter some seeds, try planting some trees. Because when it comes to growing grass, your green conscience knows better. It may be Mother Nature?s natural carpet, but there?s nothing natural about the automated watering, chemical saturation and air-polluting mowing of a ?natural? lawn. Fortunately, you need not sacrifice the experience of that lush green grass you love. Southwest Greens designs maintenance-free synthetic turf and grass that looks and feels like the real thing ? not only for your lawn, but also putting greens for golf enthusiasts.

For every square foot of lawn or backyard putting greens you grow, it takes at least 25 gallons of water to keep it alive throughout the year. For a 2,000-square-foot lawn, that?s 50,000 gallons of water that your automatic sprinklers are pouring into the ground, often for grass that?s brown and burnt three months out of the year from the summer sun and heat. Southwest Greens artificial grass for your lawn or golf greens enables you to conserve on two precious resources ? the water and money you?d otherwise pour down your outdoor drain.

Water isn?t the only thing you?re probably pouring onto your natural grass. Most commercial fertilizers, weed killers and pesticides are filled with chemicals. Imagine the impact of these toxins saturating the grass and seeping into the ground throughout the lifetime of your lawn. It?s not only bad for the Earth and its wildlife, but also your children and pets for whom your lawn is ? and should be ? a playground. Synthetic turf and grass is not only safer for them, but softer too. And Southwest Greens backyard putting greens react to the ball just like natural grass.

You don?t have a hundred miles of grass to mow, but you may as well. Using a gas lawnmower pollutes the air just as much as a hundred-mile road trip! Though alternative forms of energy are on the rise, carbon-spewing coal is still the number one resource used to produce our electricity. Southwest Greens artificial grass never needs you to mow it, but always looks like you just did. And your golf greens will always have that pristine, manicured look of a professional course.

Synthetic turf and grass is so environmentally-friendly that some cities offer rebates for its installation because of all the water you?ll conserve in your community. Even the value of your home increases with an artificial grass lawn or golf greens in your backyard. Best of all, saving money with artificial grass is just a by-product of helping to save the planet.

Jason Richards obtained a degree in Landscape Architecture from Mississippi State University. With over fifteen years in the business, Richards brings his skill and intense knowledge of designing and installing artificial greens for backyards and golf courses to Tucson.

Green Design Furniture Assembly – Part I


2010
07.28

Green Design
—————


No one has ever done a better job of explaining the benefits of our patented assembly system than our devoted collector, Kevin Durr. Kevin and his wife, Amy, are the very talented founders of Not Sold Seperately (notsoldseperately.com), a very accomplished and innovative internet development company based in southern New Jersey. It turns out they are also extremely talented filmmakers who have documented the assembly of two of their recently purchased pieces of Green Design Furniture. Kevin performs the assembly with his 1 1/2 year old son, Ian, acting as his extremely busy assistant, while Amy mans the video camera. Brilliantly edited and scored, the final product is an entirely delightful and illuminating demonstration of the reasons why our furniture and our customers are so special. Many thanks to Kevin, Amy and Ian for allowing us to share this wonderful video with you. The two clips show the assembly of the Credenzela, a two drawer cabinet and Desk Return. At the beginning of each segment, Kevin has taken the components out of its box and removed the foam wrapping from each part. He refers to the illustrated assembly instructions during the step-by-step procedure. Ian seems eager for an opportunity to use the rubber mallet. Alas, it is not required.
