I joined a social network a few months ago. It is called Konstructr. Konstructr Network is an online community for real estate development, design, and construction profession to discuss the industry and share ideas. I have met a great group of people who are working to change the face of the building community in a positive way. I met many of my online peers from this site at Greenbuild in Boston, last November. Vik Duggal is an entrepreneur and leader in social networking that is centered around building sustainably. He started a podcast of interviews, called Kcast. I have enjoyed listening to others in the industry talk about what they are doing and their thoughts on the future of green building. Last week I was privileged to be invited to be interviewed for his Kcast broadcast. The great thing about this broadcast is that it is approachable and understandable, but not dumbed down. You can hear my interview if you are interested. I especially liked the broadcast on Greenwashing.
We have been at quite a few events lately, and I am always excited to hear about great things that other people are doing. There is a store in Rocky River called “Planet Green.” They are a retail location that sells a great selection of green products. Check them out and see some of their organic apparel or green cleaning products. They also sell the products from A Piece of Cleveland! While they have only been open for a year, they are about to open a new store. To find out where, you will have to go to their anniversary party on the 31st. Call them at 440-333-9333 to find out more. If you are going to the Cleveland Home and Garden Show, check out their new Green Pavilion. Planet Green will be there, as well as a host of other interesting stuff. m There will be 40+ local vendors, local and organic food demos, Eco Fashion shows, Educational activities and children’s stuff. It should be a great time!
