in Chipotle Green Restaurant Uses On-site Wind Power on Jetson Green
I love eating at Chipotle, they have really good "fast" crispy tacos. I'm mean sure they aren't anything spectacular without guacamole, but for a fast food joint there's nothing better around. I'm excited to read they are tying to be more eco-friendly in new developments. Thanks for the sharing the good news.

in LEED Platinum Home of the Future Reduces Energy Use by 80% on Jetson Green
Wow that's beautiful. I'm in awe of the design, I live in Orange County and the Historic Orange Circle area has these all over the place (of course they are from the early 1900s). It's nice to see something "not modern."

citicritter "Its nice to see something not modern"? are you kidding? just look around you, "not modern" is the status quo, its 95% of buildings -- always has been and unfortunately always will be, because of the general public's fear of 'the new' in the built environment (particularly regarding homes). Its the 21st century and we still need to produce 'fake old' buildings to appease the public's desire for familiar mediocrity -- its actually really sad, indeed.

Will prefab ever catch on? Absolutely, I've seen more in the news and of real people's houses in the past 5 years than I had in my whole life. Granted I'm only 24, but they look so much nicer today, are brand new, and eco-friendly. Normal people are buying, those downgrading (like grandparents), and the "green" crowd are all interested. As long as the designs are fresh, new, and there's something for everyone, who wouldn't they catch on?

in REI Round Rock Second Green Prototype Store To Use 48% Less Energy on Jetson Green
tda and Preston both make goods points. Location is important, but if REI was already planning a store there then using a more eco-friendly building attitude is better than not. Many people will still do shopping in these types of areas and the price of land will keep companies building out there. If they can find areas near train lines it might be able to create less auto pollution to get there (around here in Orange County, CA that's nearly impossible).

in Entrepreneurs to Sell Shipping Container Homes Below $10k on Jetson Green
This is a great idea, especially for those in third world countries. Maybe even be used after a natural disaster as temporary housing, then re-used for other means later. It's nice to see college ideas turned into companies.

in Cool Exhibitors at West Coast Green 2008 on Jetson Green
Thanks for sharing all those great eco-friendly ideas. I loved the Harvest Home Furniture collection, I'm always on the lookout for "non-modern" styling for my apartment. And the Pefect Flush - how great for an apartment, my toilet's old and could use that. Can't wait until they become available to buy.

in Google Project 10^100 Calls for Ideas to Change the World on Jetson Green
I love Google. They come up with so many ideas and ways to help. Sure they make tons of money, but I could care less - they obviously care and do their part to help the planet and people.

This might be mean, but my parents' dog will swim to the bottom of the pool. I wonder what he'd think about that submarine?
