This blog is about green homes and other eco-minded topics and events. Although the focus is primarily on energy-efficient real estate in the Triangle area (Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill), you will often see posts that relate to other areas I'm familiar with - particularly in the mountains and on the coast of NC.
