Below is a an email forwarded to me from friends of mine. They are doing such a great thing for our earth, I just had to share. In lieu of what has happened with the recent BP oil spill, any time we can be green in our efforts to help the earth, I sincerely applaud!

Our Exciting Challenge
We are 100% committed to researching and implementing “green” building technologies so that our house becomes a practical case study for anyone who wants to replicate the process of cost-effective eco-renovation. As we move forward, we’re learning how to navigate the complexities of redesigning a home that consumes zero energy, emits zero carbon and still includes all the modern standards of human comfort. We’ve taken on this groundbreaking challenge so you don’t have to!
Green Idea House & the Community
The Green Idea House project is also acting as a catalyst in our broader community. The City of Hermosa Beach recently made a commitment to be the first city in Los Angeles County (maybe all of Southern California) to establish a plan and timeline to be a carbon neutral city – the “Green Idea City”. We are working directly with the Mayor and a committed group of local activists to bring the economic and environmental benefits of this action to fruition. You can read more about it at the following links:

Look forward to connecting soon,
Robert and Monica Fortunato
