Walkable Neighborhoods

Green building does not have to be high-tech although
solar panels, wind turbines, and LEDs are pretty
cool. Sometimes the simple things can have a large
effect on a home's green-ness. Take location for
example. Homes located within close proximity to
workplace, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping
districts and other amenities inspire more pedestrian
traffic and therefore less gas guzzling which means
less pollution, less noise, more exercise, better
health, and more money in your pocket. A great new
resource recently came to my attention that provides
a score to an address based on walking distances.
