Restaurants here in San Francisco open, and close, almost as often as the fog rolls in so we don’t usually pay an extreme amount of our precious attention to another restaurant du jour. Mixt Greens recently opened but they don’t qualify for new kid on the block status nonetheless they do deserve green props. Thus […]

Published by Keith February 15th, 2008 in Eco Homes, Green Condos, Green Savings, LEED-NC, No VOC Paint and Uncategorized. 0 CommentsHere in the Bay Area, it’s not just Berkeley who’s showing Green Big Brother mentality. Green home building will be required from all new homes built in the unincorporated region of San Mateo County. The county supes this week voted to add sweeping green regulations to green construction requirements to take effect later this […]
Green San Francisco mini mall
Published by Keith September 11th, 2007 in Green Savings, Health, No VOC Paint and San Francisco. 3 CommentsIt could be considered the country’s (or at least San Francisco’s) first Green mini mall or mini Green department store. Over on Polk Street, near a lot of mass transit and foot traffic, the recently opened Green Home Center had eco-sexuals checking out not only the shops but the interior as well.
Talk about making use […]
Green Sports Basement
Published by Keith July 28th, 2007 in FSC, Green Building, LEED-AP, No VOC Paint, Photovoltaic Panels and San Francisco. 0 CommentsWhat do you get when you combine an Organic Architect and an old brewery?

LEED certified salads
Published by Keith May 26th, 2007 in Green Building, Health, No VOC Paint, Organic Food and San Francisco. 0 CommentsIf the lines outside the first Mixt Greens (475 120 Sansome) were any indication, those strolling through the FiDi in early June might think that they’re giving the green stuff away as the new Mixt Greens location (120 475 Sansome) opens.

On 22nd and Valencia, the Lorax guys have quietly erected a darker green building. The carbon imprint of this mixed use project should be much lower than the highly marketed Arterra. Don’t […]
Feng Shui but not Green condos
Published by Keith March 18th, 2007 in Environment, No VOC Paint, Real Estate, San Francisco and condos. 1 CommentThe new feng shui condos at 1521 Sutter don’t exactly fit into the Green category but we thought we’d give them a mention. It didn’t seem good chi to see workers picketing in front of the construction site about a month ago.
We’re all about flow and holistic design but it seems that this feng […]

Finally there’s the green that can save green. Did all you capitalists just get excited? It’s not just about photovoltaic panels, although if you’re not a fan of PG&E or the equivalent megalopolis energy supplier then the fact that an energy company can actually send you a check each month may excite your bank […]
