As A Green Building Consultant I Will do Anything But…

I will do just about anything to make green building happen. I will crawl on my hands and knees until your crawl space is insulated. I will get covered in fiberglass and sweat to help you value your attics r-value. I will help design your LEED platinum home. I will argue at the order desk until I get you just the right window. I will put it on my card. I will read LEED books until I become numb with numbers, and even the Manual J. I am not a morning person but I’ll get into town at 7am for my first meeting and stay till 9pm to make my last. I will give advice for free, but pay for it for myself. I will start a non for profit. I will wear work cloths all one week and pressed shirts all the next. I will write it, read it, drink to it, and sing it if requested. If I don’t know about the latest energy saving strategy I will find out who does. I will take the chance that there are others like me who can help out. I will take lead and then gladly follow. I will take great financial risk to do this better. One thing I have decided not to do just yet though is learn how to make a cappuccino.
