It's a mission. Every day you try to lighten the load the planet bears under your feet. You do the little things. And they add up; they really do. But if you want to maximize your sustainability efforts and truly make a big impact on the environment and your family's health, it's all about planning ahead—the theme of this issue of HomeLink. The Beetle Kill Windfall Summer 2009 This issue of HomeLink is not about the doom and gloom of our dying forests. It is not about trying to save the forests either–it is too late to think about that. The focus is now on the people, organizations, businesses and homeowners, who are taking advantage of the opportunities this situation has created. The Water Issue Winter 2008 In this issue of HomeLink, we have teamed up with the City of Steamboat Springs, the Mount Werner Water District, the National Forest Service, and a myriad of other local professionals to help us understand where our water comes from, how we use it, and most importantly, how to conserve it. Construction activity, invasive species, and everyday wasteful habits all impact our water system in numerous ways. But don't despair, with a little background education and conscious consideration of our usual activities, we can make positive changes that will help us preserve our precious "liquid gold," save money at home and in community taxes, and have a positive impact on our surrounding environment that we all appreciate in countless ways. Built Green Under the Gondola Summer 2008 A first look inside Steamboat's newest luxury home certified under the Built Green of Colorado® rating system. Habitat Construction and Kelly & Stone Architects teamed up to design an eco-friendly, healthy, and smart house that you probably watched being built this winter right under our gondola. And a Certified Kitchen Designer helps you take on the daunting task of designing your dream kitchen and explains why there is so much more to it than just a set of new cabinet doors. The Green Cost Myth Winter 2007 In this premier issue of HomeLink we'll take a look inside the first LEED certified public building in NW Colorado, showcased by the City of Steamboat Springs. We'll also explore some of the many opportunities homeowners have to build or remodel in the most efficient, cost effective, and health-conscious way including articles about indoor air quality, chemicals in your carpeting, landscaping for energy efficiency and recycling your building materials. |
