Green Buildings

I sat for a few minutes in a session about green building, and it wasn't very interesting. I just had to post a few things, though, so I don't forget about them.

  • What is a waterless urinal? They talked about them several times.
  • The importance of creating sustainability in our facilitities (that almost rhymes).
  • Creating a teaching garden that allows customers to learn while exploring (imagine the possiblities of a Literacy Garden - incorporating the 6 skills of early literacy into the garden design and experience!)
  • Including a staff shower to encourage staff to bike or walk to work, or work-out during lunch breaks. I've never even thought about that before.
