Small tweaks can add up.
We don't have to wait for a single conference to save every problem for us.
There are ways that as individuals we can make changes, be greener and possibly even save money.
Such an approach is on the menu of the third Greener Gadgets Conference to be held in New York on February 25, 2010 at McGraw-Hill Conference Center.
It includes a panel entitled Green Living Begins at Home which "will outline how a green home can also be a smart home, whether it' s in an urban or rural location, on or off the grid."
This session will be moderated by Sarah Rich, Editor of Dwell and features so far Kimberly Lancaster, Founder, Green Life Smart Life Project.
What's this project about, here's their introduction:
demonstrates how families can make lifestyle choices that are both
sustainable and realistic to meet their needs without compromising the
environment's needs.
Starting with a 1-acre lot
on the beautiful Rhode Island coast, the homeowners decided to take on
the task of applying their day to day eco-friendly habits to their new
home building project and found that the challenges of limited
resources and information had to be resolved in order for everyone to
truly understand what it means to go green. Combining green building
with smart home technology, Green Life Smart Life embraces the notion
that modern day living can and should go hand in hand with
sustainability and environmental stewardship."
