Go Green, Build It Green

New 'lookouts' for climate change Join Neil Merrilees as he talks with local people who are building it green--and beating a path for the rest of us.

The greatest resource we have on the coastside is the quality of our residents. This video highlights locals who are experimenting with green technology, at their own expense, in order to find a way to live more sustainably. Some of these experiments will be successful and become mainstream practices. Some may prove too expensive and need revision. These community members are blazing the trail and making it easier for the rest of us to learn from their experiences.

There are many more of us out there who are concerned with saving energy. If you are interested in learning more about green building or are interested in sharing your own experiences--whether successes or failures--contact Darin at Montara Fog--and he will forward the e-mails to me.

Editor's Note: Neil's video runs, in total, about half an hour. The blue button below will play the video in its entirety in a new window on your screen. As an added convenience I've broken the full length video down into five-minute segments so you can watch--or re-watch--just those portions most interesting to you.
