Denver seems like a year ago already… we’d hoped to post more but the last session we went to (Jim Collins, author of Good to Great) sent Levi and I on an 8-hour marathon discussion that wiped out everything else. So, in the absence of more in-depth content, here’s a quick rundown of dialogue from our office today.

Micah’s in the thick of eco-issues surrounding vinyl windows. It’s a choice between energy-efficiency vs. toxicity.

Vanessa’s on the end of her road trip enjoying cleaner air in California’s open spaces. Here’s to hoping she brings some back with her.

Levi’s just found out about Urban Design Association in Sacramento. Looks like a cool group of people.

William Burg, chair of the Newton Booth Neighborhood Association, has written a book about Sacramento’s Streetcar system that looks really interesting. The blurb at Powell’s.com is enough to make me cry for what we lost…

I read today that “the annual amount of money the average American family spent five years ago on gasoline, home heating, and electricity” was $3,300. This year, that figure will be $5100. Just one more statistic demonstrating the good sense behind eco-urban.
