Podcast on the importance to truely green building

I just listened to an excellent, 2-part radio/podcast on the importance of green building from a site called "Green Building Radio"

The presenter is quite entertaining and I think completely on the mark. Our buildings have a major role to play in addressing our society's environmental footprint.

The one thing that is a bit different in our situation (that is in the Yukon) is he states that electricity is one of the dirtiest form of energy. That is true where significant coal and natural gas are burned to generate electricity, where as in the Yukon, the vast majority of our electricity is from renewables (at least for those communities on the grid), and therefore is one of cleanest forms of energy.

Anyway, the podcast is two 15-min segment - I encourage you to find the time to have a listen, it really reinforces what a lot of us are striving for.
