Lanier joined the Ray C. Anderson Foundation as Executive Director in May 2013. Serving in this role has been an immense honor, and he feels privileged to work with his family to advance the legacy of Ray, his grandfather. Lanier's passion for environmental stewardship was sparked by Ray's example and story, and he never tires of sharing this story with others. Mid-Course Correction Revisited: The Story and Legacy of a Radical Industrialist and his Quest for Authentic Change The original Mid-Course Correction, published 20 years ago, became a classic in the sustainability field. It put forth a new vision for what its author, Ray C. Anderson, called the “prototypical company of the 21st century”?a restorative company that does no harm to society or the environment. Anderson recounts his eureka moment as founder and leader of Interface, Inc., and one that was doing business in all the usual ways. Bit by bit, he began learning how much environmental destruction companies like his had caused, prompting him to make a radical change. Mid-Course Correction not only outlined what eco-centered leadership looks like, it also mapped out a specific set of goals for Anderson’s company to eliminate its environmental footprint. This second edition delves into how Interface worked toward making them a reality, birthing one of the most innovative and successful corporate sustainability efforts in the world. Mid-Course Correction Revisted contains a new foreword by Paul Hawken, several new chapters by Ray C. Anderson Foundation executive director John A. Lanier, and interviews with Janine Benyus, Joel Makower, Andrew Winston, Ellen MacArthur and other leaders in green enterprise, the circular economy, and biomimicry.

Today, most flooring installation products are very corrosive and have caustic chemistries. While these floor installation products offer high performance, they currently are required to include the “Danger” warning on their containers/packaging. If not disposed of properly, the waste from these products can end up in the soil and water supply, posing an environmental risk. ZHERORisk products offer a major innovation that will change the way tile and stone are installed and significantly reduce the risks that currently exist. These products will offer better working conditions and overall health for installers, as well as improvements in building wellness and very low environmental impact. The products are GEV-EMICODE certified to be very low in emissions. The ZHERORisk product line will launch in the U.S. beginning in March and continuing throughout 2019.

With nine candidates, it's a large field of many ideas and voices. The question that needs to be asked by the Atlanta sustainability community is who has the best vision for the leadership Atlanta has had nationally? We all know that without a full commitment to the legacy created by the last two administrations that we could fall behind.  Today we are speaking with former Atlanta City Council President, Cathy Woolard. As President of the Atlanta City Council, the first woman to hold that position, Cathy championed the Atlanta BeltLine, a project transforming abandoned rail-corridors circling the city into mixed-use recreational trails. She founded the “Dirty Dozen,” a pilot program to fix the worst code violations in the city to improve neglected neighborhoods. She also made sustainability a priority, and her Energy Conservation Program cut emissions while saving the city’s facilities more than $800,000 in a single year. As a City Council member for District 6, she increased funding for sidewalks and, as Chair of the Transportation Committee, she oversaw the expansion of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which had just become the busiest airport in the world. Cathy also personally led the Atlanta City Council to pass what is still the ONLY comprehensive civil rights bill in the state of Georgia, protecting hundreds of thousands of Atlantans from discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations. As a non-profit organization executive, Cathy has continued to serve others with organizations like CARE, League of Conservation Voters, and the Human Rights Campaign.  Cathy is dedicated to Atlanta, committed to honesty and transparency, and diligent in making sure jobs are done right the first time.

The coal ash in Tennessee contaminated land, rivers, reservoirs, and shore areas surrounding the landfill with arsenic and lead, leading the Environmental Protection Agency to conclude that there was a potential “imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health.” Residents of Uniontown organized in opposition to what they saw as a racial and environmental injustice, speaking out against the risk to their environment and health, as well as the location of the landfill, which is across the street from several homes and next to one of the town’s historic Black cemeteries. Some 35 residents filed a complaint with the EPA’s Office of Civil Rights under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The complaint alleges that the Alabama Department of Environmental Management violated their civil rights by allowing the Arrowhead Landfill to locate in their predominately Black neighborhood without adequate protections for the health of residents or the environment. Some citizens also organized a concerned citizens’ group called Black Belt Citizens Fighting for Health and Justice, which created a Facebook page that publishes concerns about risks to their environment and health. Green Group sued over the Facebook posts, which included statements such as “we should all have the right to clean air and clean water” and “It affected our everyday life.” 00:35:00Southeast GreennoEnvironment,environmental racism,environmental injustice,uniontown alabama,Black Belt Citizens Fighting for Health and JusticeCoal ash dumped in landfill with no protection and oversight.

Numerous recent scientific studies have demonstrated that molecular hydrogen acts as a safe and highly effective method to deactivate harmful free radicals in the body. H2forLife tastes just like the fresh, filtered spring water it's made from. The added hydrogen and platinum add no taste, color or odor. Read scores of peer reviewed published research at http://www.WhyHydrogen.info/ History: Eprida researcher Danny Day was trying to find an inexpensive method to measure the physical size of polyatomic hydrogen clusters in real time without destroying them with ionization mass spectroscopy. He choose to use the measurement of changes in pure water when saturated with these unusual hydrogen species when he discovered that his father Marshal Day (83) was diagnosed with inoperable live and colon cancer. In the course of a literature review on measurement techniques of hydrogen saturated water, he uncovered studies in Japan detailing the reduction of tumors in lab studies using water saturated with hydrogen and trace amounts of colloidal platinum. Producing the same product for his father and its success demonstrated the potential to augment health for millions of others. H2forLife has been on the market and in use continuously by its customers since June 2013. The amount of published research is continuing to grow which shows the positive effect of this formula in supporting good health.

SELC released a new video campaign to bring those voices to the forefront of the debate: Stories of Solar features Southerners who have gone solar and aren’t looking back. With stories ranging from a former coal miner turned solar installer in Alabama to a family farmer in North Carolina, from a pastor in Georgia to students in Virginia, the stories show that everyone has their own reasons for going solar. Stories of Solar provides a chance to hear directly from Southerners who are benefiting from solar power, often in the face of significant policy barriers. Stories of Solar tells the personal stories of how solar stimulates job growth, decreases energy costs, and increases energy independence, all while benefiting our environment, communities, and families. In the Southeast, we still have yet to reach our full solar potential, as regulatory barriers in some of our states like limited financing opportunities and punitive fees from electric utilities can cut expected savings and stifle solar growth.

In the late 1990s when SUVs ruled the road, Mielewski – then technical leader of plastics research at Ford – predicted a time when oil prices would soar, customers would feel the pinch, and Ford would need a solution.

The 100% juices were loaded with sugar. Flavored waters lacked nutrition. Even so-called “healthy” organic brands added cane sugar. No thanks! So Melinda and Michael Hicks set out to create a better drink for children based on something as pure and wholesome as nature itself — tea. Some call it nature’s wonder drug, and it’s no wonder. From this little green leaf comes a powerhouse of beneficial nutrients like antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Little Me Tea is a delicious blend of caffeine-free tea kicked up with fruit and vegetable juices. It’s rich in nutrients, super-low in sugar, Non-GMO and organic to the core. In today’s polluted, nutrient-deficient world, our children need a true force of nature to keep them healthy and strong.

To create this debut documentary, one man and his camera traveled extensively to find and interview top minds in the fields of science, advocacy, and law.  Weaving their testimonies into a compelling narrative, Brown presents us with the story of how the chemical revolution brought us to where we are, and of where, if we’re not vigilant, it may take us. Over 80,000 chemicals flow through our system of commerce, and many are going straight into our bodies. Even our unborn children are affected. Due to this constant exposure, we have approximately 200 synthetic industrial chemicals interacting with our cells every single day. Until recently, modern science really didn’t understand what that could mean for all of us in the long run, but that is changing. Globally, disease rates are on the rise. Theories about the causes abound, yet the issues are complex and often muddied by the maneuvering of political and corporate interests. To explore different facets of common chemical exposure, Unacceptable Levels, was made in consultation with experts in multiple fields and is guided by a father on a personal journey as he attempts to bring these issues to light for everyone. Its primary goal? To determine whether we can prevent disease before it strikes us. Unacceptable Levels opens the door to conversations about the chemical burden our bodies carry so that we can make informed decisions now and in the future.  The film poses challenges to our companies, our government, and our society to do something about a nearly-unseen threat with the inspired knowledge that small changes can generate a massive impact. 00:16:00Southeast GreennoUnacceptable Levels,ed brown,toxins,chemical burden on health,speaking of greenUnacceptable Levels examines the results of the chemical revolution of the 1940s through the eyes of affable filmmaker Ed Brown, a father seeking to understandhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2014/07/23/its-time-to-rethink-ledsEnvironmenthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2014/07/23/its-time-to-rethink-leds/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2014/07/23/its-time-to-rethink-ledsWed, 23 Jul 2014 13:30:00 GMTIt's time to rethink LED'sJonathan A.

She worked for publishing houses and internet companies (Wired, Walt Disney Internet Group). In NYC in 2002, she founded Spa-Addicts.com, the first national discount site for the spa & wellness industry. She grew it into a multi-million dollar business and a leader in the industry, and attracted hundreds of thousands of women as well as sponsors.   In 2008, however, she learned most of her family farm bordering Ark / LA would be sold. Not wanting to lose the family heritage and farmland her family before her had so cherished, Mary, along with the support of her brother Douglas, was adamant to preserve and keep the remaining farmland. She then began making changes in her life so that she could move from Los Angeles back South in order to keep, operate and run the farm. She bought back her grandparents house and renovated it, and discovered that “saving the family farm” had changed her life forever – and for the better. Today she admits that she is happier than ever & inspired, loving the farming business and now launching Farm Star Living, which she felt compelled to create for the good of farming and the people she has met along her new path.

The structural change that occurred in the mid-20th century converted real estate development into a modular, formula-driven industry, based upon access by and parking of automobiles and trucks. I refer to it as "drivable sub-urbanism". The real estate industry responded to the market demand of the day and the results yielded many benefits in the industrial economy. Yet we now know that it actually narrowed consumer options, consumed land at 6-8 times population growth and produced "could be anywhere" places, based upon the "19 standard product types". These drivable sub-urban formulas have been re-enforced by real estate finance, which has turned what for thousands of years was a 40-year asset class into a product with a 7-10 year life. 00:24:00Southeast Greennochris leinberger,walkups,atlanta urban development,sustainable communities,Southeast GreenThe building of the built environment (real estate and the infrastructure that supports real estate) is in the middle of a structural change, only comparable thttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2013/10/28/tara-deporte--who-is-the-human-impacts-instituteEnvironmenthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2013/10/28/tara-deporte--who-is-the-human-impacts-institute/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2013/10/28/tara-deporte--who-is-the-human-impacts-instituteMon, 28 Oct 2013 21:00:00 GMTTara DePorte - Who is the Human Impacts InstituteBorn and raised in Virginia, Tara has lived in Brooklyn for many years and considers New York City as her “base” for exploration.

Price Foundation Sally is a journalist, chef, nutrition researcher, homemaker, and community activist. She is the author of Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats. This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Ms. Fallon's lifelong interest in the subject of nutrition began in the early 1970s when she read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price. Called the "Charles Darwin of Nutrition," Price traveled the world over studying healthy primitive populations and their diets. The unforgettable photographs contained in his book document the beautiful facial structure and superb physiques of isolated groups consuming only whole, natural foods. Price noted that all of these diets contained a source of good quality animal fat, which provided numerous factors necessary for the full expression of our genetic potential and optimum health. Ms. Fallon applied the principles of the Price research to the feeding of her own children, and proved for herself that a diet rich in animal fats, and containing the protective factors in old fashioned foodstuffs like cod liver oil, liver and eggs, make for sturdy cheerful children with a high immunity to illness.   00:34:00Southeast Greennoweston a price foundation,sally fallon,WAPF,traditional diets,Southeast GreenSally is a journalist, chef, nutrition researcher, homemaker, and community activist.

We also talk lionfish. Why are they a hazard? Recent Developments In December 2012 and January 2013, four barges of light poles donated from Florida Power and Light were deployed to create two reefs.  The first reef, located in 62-foot depths, had a profile of 27 feet, while the second reef, located in 102-foot depths, had a profile of 25 feet.  Post deployment dives on the reefs showed fishes (i.e. triggerfish, black seabass, pelagic baitfish) already utilizing this new habitat. All of these artificial reefs were deployed with the help of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission Artificial Reef Construction Grant.  The reefs help provide destinations for recreational anglers and divers and habitat for over 110 species of fish and numerous invertebrates.

So, he left the five-generation family farm to go work in the US where he saved $40,000 working in a family-style buffet restaurant. A meeting with destiny – Alejandro (Alé) came back home, invested his hard-earned money in coffee processing equipment, and changed the trajectory of the coffee farming business. The key was a chance meeting with Ken Lander, an American who had retired to Costa Rica and bought a coffee farm. Ken’s retirement was shaken by the financial crisis of 2008. His gentleman’s coffee farm was now needed to feed his family. He learned that making a living as a coffee farmer doesn’t add up. The test model – Over the next 2 years, they forged ahead with Alé’s equipment and coffee knowledge, and Ken’s business acumen. They vertically integrated the supply chain by processing, roasting, packaging and then selling their own coffee. The trouble with “fair” – Ken and Alé shared their story, over many cups of local coffee, to people who were amazed to learn of the economic plight of the vast majority of coffee farmers. Despite a host of “fair” programs and “green” certifications the basic lot for the farmer remained unchanged. Demand for their high quality coffee quickly outstripped supply, so they partnered with other local farmers, offering to do all of the processing needed to sell the coffee.

Shockingly, they saw less than a handful of Americans of Hispanic, Asian, African or Native American heritage enjoying the Great American outdoors, or working in them. Recognizing that this problem stemmed from a lack of information, misconceptions and latent fears about being in the woods, the Petermans resolved to become a catalyst for change. Since then, they’ve crisscrossed the country multiple times, visiting 156 national parks, numerous forests and wildlife preserves; served on a plethora of environmental boards; inspired hundreds of thousands to discover and support our national treasures, and personally taken thousands of Americans on tours of the national parks. Audrey and Frank Peterman have been pioneers in the green and conservation movement since 1995.They are among the leading experts on America’s publicly-owned lands system. They are tenacious advocates for breaking the color barrier and  integration of our natural treasures as a way for all Americans, including children, youth, adults and seniors regardless of ethnic  heritage to better appreciate our collective history and achieve a truly democratic society.

As part of its non-profit mission, it may address all critical phases within the life use of the built environment – planning, design, construction, use, adaptation, renovation and demolition – and offer information, resources, materials and services to maximize opportunities within each phase. The heart of the LIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER (LBC) concept is the establishment of a large-scale used building material facility that sells or otherwise directs collected material to the general public- in lieu of disposal. The sales revenue, foot traffic, and operational behavior of the facility are leveraged to enact the LBC mission and creatively serve the community at large. Through an integrated and holistic mission-based approach, communities become more regenerative, healthier and generate economic and social wealth through the intelligent use and re-use of materials and the implementation of broader sustainability strategies. 00:29:00Southeast GreennoLIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER,green built environment,recycling construction debris,green building,southeast greenA LIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER is a ommunity-based warehouse facility that directly assists the general public by identifying and implementing best practice greenhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2013/05/22/jon-gensler-passionate-warrior-for-clean-energyEnvironmenthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2013/05/22/jon-gensler-passionate-warrior-for-clean-energy/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2013/05/22/jon-gensler-passionate-warrior-for-clean-energyWed, 22 May 2013 13:30:00 GMTJon Gensler – Passionate Warrior for Clean Energy Jon Gensler is a proud native of southern West Virginia, a passionate warrior for the development of a clean energy economy, and co-leader of Truman's Energy Experts group.  His career has spanned time as an officer in the United States Army as a tank and infantry mortar platoon leader, managing high-profile sales accounts for a global lighting controls and energy efficiency firm, and working for the Dept of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E).  He now works as a Project Developer for Borrego Solar Systems, helping develop solar energy projects for the Department of Defense and other federal agencies.  Aside from his work on climate and national security issues, he is a tireless advocate for the ending of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia, and the introduction of a broader, more sustainable economy in the region.

At Ford, Lee is part of a unique team that works to make products more sustainable through science and technology innovation. The team researches traditional, petroleum-based plastics and looks to Mother Nature to create alternate composites that are durable, lightweight and better for the environment. These all-new composite recipes include more natural ingredients, such as soy oil, wheat straw fiber, cellulose and the sugars in corn, sugarbeets and sugarcane. “One of our biggest success stories so far is soy foam,” Lee says. All Ford North American-built vehicles use bio-based foam in seat cushions and backs. Ford’s use of bio-based foam has helped the company reduce its petroleum oil use by more than 3 million pounds annually and carbon dioxide emissions by more than 15 million pounds.

The result is The Original Rainwater Pillow, an innovative way to take advantage of heavy downpours and provide ample water for flowers, gardens and other outdoor and indoor water needs. The pillows are hidden in horizontal wasted space already availble in many homes and buildings so you do not have a hard-to-disguise tank or the excavation expense required for cisterns! We build custom pillow sizes and foot prints up to 200,000 gallons to fit your available space. This allows you to utize all your avialble space and maximize your rainwater collection volume.

I wondered why everyone did not change their light bulbs, and I came to the conclusion that either they didn’t hear the message, or they did not have the time or know-how to act on the information.  That is why I created Zola; to carry the message, and then provide you with easy, affordable solutions, so that together we can help create a healthier environment.

The coal is subsequently removed via large dump trucks to be washed with volumes of water and chemicals in preparation for shipping via train to a distribution point or final user. Core samples are drilled to find the location of the coal seams after which the land is cleared. Large holes are then drilled to accept explosives which loosens and fractures the earth covering the coal. That “overburden” is then dumped in the most convenient spot to allow for the collection of the coal. 00:36:00Southeast Greennoj henry fair,industrial scars,environmental photography,coal mountaintop removal,southeast greenMountaintop Removal as practiced in Appalachia entails the rapid removal of anything above a coal seam via blasting and excavation, generally into the adjacenthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2012/09/26/green-like-god-with-jonathan-merrittEnvironmenthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2012/09/26/green-like-god-with-jonathan-merritt/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2012/09/26/green-like-god-with-jonathan-merrittWed, 26 Sep 2012 13:30:00 GMTBetween God & Green with Dr. Katharine Wilkinson Despite three decades of scientists' warnings and environmentalists' best efforts, the political will and public engagement necessary to fuel robust action on global climate change remain in short supply. Katharine K. Wilkinson shows that, contrary to popular expectations, faith-based efforts are emerging and strengthening to address this problem. In the US, perhaps none is more significant than evangelical climate care. Drawing on extensive focus group and textual research and interviews, Between God & Green explores the phenomenon of climate care, from its historical roots and theological grounding to its visionary leaders and advocacy initiatives. Wilkinson examines the movement's reception within the broader evangelical community, from pew to pulpit. She shows that by engaging with climate change as a matter of private faith and public life, leaders of the movement challenge traditional boundaries of the evangelical agenda, partisan politics, and established alliances and hostilities. These leaders view sea-level rise as a moral calamity, lobby for legislation written on both sides of the aisle, and partner with atheist scientists. Wilkinson reveals how evangelical environmentalists are reshaping not only the landscape of American climate action, but the contours of their own religious community. Though the movement faces complex challenges, climate care leaders continue to leverage evangelicalism's size, dominance, cultural position, ethical resources, and mechanisms of communication to further their cause to bridge God and green. 00:33:00Southeast GreennoKatharine Wilkinson,Between God and Green,evangelical green movement,christian green movement,southeast greenDespite three decades of scientists' warnings and environmentalists' best efforts, the political will and public engagement necessary to fuel robust action onhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2012/09/20/savannah-ocean-exchange--solutions-inspring-actionsEnvironmenthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2012/09/20/savannah-ocean-exchange--solutions-inspring-actions/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2012/09/20/savannah-ocean-exchange--solutions-inspring-actionsThu, 20 Sep 2012 18:00:00 GMTSavannah Ocean Exchange - Solutions Inspiring Actions Join us as we talk to 3 participants live from the event.

So it was with a sense of adventure one day that this chiropractor of 20 years--a man who had never in his life grown a single tomato plant much less a garden--dug up his front lawn and planted a vegetable plot far bigger than what would feed his family of eight. That was 1996. By 1999, after a few years selling surplus veggies to Birmingham restaurants, expanding his garden and adding a flock of laying hens, Jerry enlisted 40 people to join his fledgling Community Supported Agriculture program. By the end of the season, membership had grown to 65 people paying up front for four to 12 months of weekly boxes of in-season vegetables raised at Mt. Laurel Organic Gardens. Fast-forward another six years to 2004 and Mt. Laurel has enlisted 25 farms to supply produce and meat to 400 members of the CSA renamed Grow Alabama.

Originally, Dogwood Alliance focused on stopping the expansion of chip mills - facilities that grind whole logs into wood chips for making paper and chipboard -- across the South. Beginning in the mid-1980s, large pulp and paper industries shifted the main thrust of their activity from over-cut forests of the Pacific Northwest to recovering forests in the South. This shift resulted in a proliferation of chip mills and unprecedented industrial-scale clear-cutting of forests. Over the last two or three years as citizen concerns about Southern forests escalated into the national spotlight, only a few chip mills have applied for permits in Southern states. While this possibly signals the end of an era of aggressive expansion by the paper industry, it is most definitely not the end of the destruction of the region's forests for paper production. 00:28:00Southeast Greennodogwood alliance,danna smith,southern forests,forest preservation,southeast greenSouthern activists formed Dogwood Alliance in November 1996.

Not so long ago, airports were built near cities, and roads connected the one to the other. This pattern—the city in the center, the airport on the periphery— shaped life in the twentieth century, from the central city to exurban sprawl. Today, the ubiquity of jet travel, round-the-clock workdays, overnight shipping, and global business networks has turned the pattern inside out. Soon the airport will be at the center and the city will be built around it, the better to keep workers, suppliers, executives, and goods in touch with the global market. 00:28:00Southeast Greennoaerotropolis,greg lindsay,sustainable cities,global marketplace,southeast greenThis brilliant and eye-opening look at the new phenomenon called the aerotropolis gives us a glimpse at the way we will live in the near future—and the way whttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2011/04/13/shepherd-bend-mine--a-threat-to-birminghams-drinking-waterEnvironmenthttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2011/04/13/shepherd-bend-mine--a-threat-to-birminghams-drinking-water/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/southeastgreen/2011/04/13/shepherd-bend-mine--a-threat-to-birminghams-drinking-waterWed, 13 Apr 2011 20:00:00 GMTShepherd Bend Mine - a threat to Birmingham's drinking waterJoin us as we discuss Birmingham, AL threat to it's drinking water.

AndersonThe story is now legend; the “spear in the chest” epiphany Ray Anderson experienced when he first read Paul Hawken’s, The Ecology of Commerce seeking inspiration for a speech to an Interface task force on the company’s environmental vision.

Through her “build better, not bigger” approach to residential design she has demonstrated that the sense of “home” we seek has to do with quality, not quantity. In her Not So Big House series, Susanka helps readers understand that we feel “at home” in our houses when where we live reflects who we are in our hearts. Susanka recently unveiled the highly anticipated plans of her Not So Big Showhouse design for SchoolStreet Homes in Libertyville, Ill. Susanka’s Showhouse in Libertyville is a landmark event. For the first time, the best-selling author has agreed to design a house for a major development. Her goal is to introduce a semi-custom product into the mainstream residential housing market. The Showhouse will open in the fall of 2011. Susanka is the author of nine books that collectively weave together home and life design, revealing that a Not So Big attitude serves not only architectural aims, but life goals as well. Her books have sold well over one million copies and continue to rank highly on best-seller lists. Her titles include The Not So Big House, Not So Big Remodeling, Home By Design, and The Not So Big Life. Her most recent book, More Not So Big Solutions was released in March 2010 by The Taunton Press. 00:26:00Southeast Greennosarah susanka,house not so big,greenprints,green building,southeast greenSarah Susanka, FAIA, is leading the movement to redefine the American home and lifestyle.

The Georgia Center of Innovation program is housed in the Georgia Department of Economic Development, to align the program’s unique resources and capabilities with growing the state’s strategic industries. The Center of Innovation for Energy was established by Governor Sonny Perdue in April 2008. The mission of the COI-Energy is to expand the production and use of renewable energy and alternative fuels in Georgia. Since Ms. Stuckey’s appointment to this position by the Governor, Georgia has announced billions of dollars and hundreds of newly created jobs in renewable energy and alternative fuel projects. Jill Stuckey started her career at Triangle, Inc., where she became part owner and built one of the largest fuel maintenance companies in the state.
