Go Green Hudson: March 2010
http://gogreenhudson.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 25, 2010. The request is simple. Turn off your lights for one hour between 8:30 and 9:30 pm on Saturday, March 27. The statement you're making, however, is powerful. When you sit by candlelight that evening, the message you're sending to our politicians is to stand up, show some leadership on this issue, and take responsibility for our future.

The Green Igloo: December 2009
http://thegreenigloo.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
All about sustainable building and living in the north. Saturday, December 5, 2009. The Green Barn Nursery. I heard about the Green Barn Nursery. In March for the fist time but it wasn't until September that I actually had a chance to go for a visit. This is a nursery like no other because they are not tree resellers, they are tree "breeders". It was a fascinating tour! Well let me tell you, the end product is amazing! How's that for shocking? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). La vie en vert.

The Green Igloo: Building with our own wood
http://thegreenigloo.blogspot.com/2009/05/building-with-our-own-wood.html
All about sustainable building and living in the north. Friday, May 29, 2009. Building with our own wood. Today's post is a plea for help. : ). This new land we are planning to build our house on has a 60 acre forest. It would make sense to use at least a bit of this wood in the building of our house. Unfortunately, having never harvested our own wood, we don't know where to start! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Green building, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Labels: building with our own wood.

All about sustainable building and living in the north. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Thank you La Leche League! I am now 8 months pregnant and really starting to think about life with the new baby (our third child). Nursing the baby is a given by now but I must thank the La Leche. Women who helped me out the first time around. Without them, I would never have managed I am sure. We had so many little problems that could have gotten really big had I not had excellent expert advice! As well as of masonry. La mais...

The Green Igloo: Planning meeting with the architects #1
http://thegreenigloo.blogspot.com/2009/06/planning-meeting-with-architects-1.html
All about sustainable building and living in the north. Sunday, June 14, 2009. Planning meeting with the architects #1. We have now met with our architects a couple times to discuss what we wanted and I am really looking forward to seeing what they will come up with. I must say that I am very impressed with them up to now. They have been incredible accommodating. With our schedule, agreeing to come meet with us after our children's. Bed time. That makes for late evenings for them! This is SO exiting!
