Ever wondered what it would be like to live in a home that has it all? We all talk about wanting to do one thing or another to green our lives, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to experience and learn about how all these new and old green technologies can work in unison? To be able to gain firsthand experience and an understanding of what life could be like if someone just had the guts to build a home that had it all, and would open it to other Environmental Stewardship fans to take it out for a spin themselves? Throw boring incrementalism to the wind! Experience what the clean, green future holds today.

Ultimate conservation, resource reuse, 100% renewable energy, zero carbon transportation, onsite food production, telecommuting, Slow Food, sustainability and green building classes, local economics, authentic community.... Such a place is actually under construction and looking for future lab rats to help fine tune all the systems with the goal of proving that we can live better than most of us do now, but on just 17% of the energy that the average American consumes today.

Enter the year 2050 goal of the 2,000 Watt Society. Google that for a mind opening challenge. Most of us have heard about "hypermiling" a car to gain the most MPG, but how about being able to hypermile a home? How many MPGs does your house get?

Check out www.WorldsGreenestBuilding.com and sign up on a priority list to be among the first to spend an unforgettable weekend or a week in what is slated to be the World's Greenest Building.

This is why I don’t dubiousness with our status. People are getting sick and one factor is lack of food intake. An oniomaniac has nothing to do with vegetables, or at least doesn't usually. An oniomaniac doesn't crave French Onion Soup, but rather has a compulsive disorder in which they want to buy a lot of stuff (usually useless but aesthetically pleasing or part of current trends – see also designer shoes, and this utterly stupid obsession with cellular phones) and it leads to harm. It's cutely dressed up as "shopaholic" but that's a load of malarkey. Anyone THAT fulfilled by buying shoes or a phone has problems – and besides, you buy new ones anyway and a bunch of suits are getting rich off people's ILLNESS – that isn't cute. An oniomanic has a disease that leads to loan lenders, misery, and debt.
