How Big Is Your Carbon Footprint?


How big is your carbon footprint? Hell, I have no idea what mine is. With the amount of time spent in my car, I am sure it is gnarly. But a recent article in the New York Times titled "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You" shows that a suburbanites' footprint is much greater than their urban counterparts. Now, in Orange County we have all seen that example repeated over and over again with the lawns, the SUVs, the McMansions and just the general excess. AND, this is something we are addressing with our new development, 12@ELDEN.
Not only have many of our building practices have sustainable tenets, many of our features in the community will be geared towards well, just not being so excessive.
