  by aleida, on February 2nd, 2010Image from BrightTALK web site The 2010 BrightTALK Green Building Summit on Thursday, January 28 was incredibly informative – hopefully the webcasts attracted a sufficiently large listenership. I joined all seven webinars and arrived at the end of the day with over a dozen pages of notes. While I will not post even a [...] by kevin, on January 29th, 2010I recently presented this session, titled Sustainable Materials: How to Develop Your Own Library, as part of the one day Green Building Summit hosted [...] by aleida, on January 26th, 2010The 2010 Los Angeles edition of Go Green Expo has come and gone, and we hope the organizers are happy with the results. Just like last year, the expo floor was packed on Saturday and Sunday, the “open to the public” days of the event. It was hard to get through the aisles, and the [...] by aleida, on January 21st, 2010Last year we were introduced to BrightTALK http://www.brighttalk.com/, a service that offers live, interactive webinars on a variety of topics, and it’s all free.

She and co-founder Peter Strugatz went into business together in 2003. Miranda [...] by aleida, on December 8th, 2009Image courtesy of Coverings Etc Kevin and I continued to learn about fascinating products as we sat down to chat with Jennifer Ryan, Director of Business Development for Coverings Etc. She walked us through their offerings and even gave us a sneak peek at a new product to be launched very soon (I will [...] by aleida, on December 6th, 2009Image courtesy of Kirei USA Kirei Board, purveyed by California-based Kirei USA, is a product that we have used extensively in past projects, so we could not pass up the opportunity to say hello to the people behind it. We met with Teresa Cooney, Marketing Coordinator, who was kind enough to walk us through [...] by aleida, on December 4th, 2009Once on the Greenbuild expo floor, Kevin and I gravitated towards the booth occupied by the Mexican company Alumillenium. This was a very cool new find for us. Months ago I wrote about our preference for recycled aluminum tile (found here), so it was fun to meet and spend some time with Javier, a [...] by kevin, on December 2nd, 2009Image courtesy of Fireclay Tile web site For anyone unfamiliar with Fireclay Tile, they are a manufacturer of wonderful handcrafted artisan tiles located in San Jose CA.
