Sustainable Condo Exhibit - who knew!

One of the unexpected perks of this blog is that it has motivated me to read the newspaper more often. It is amazing the things I find when I make time to do more then just read the headlines!

For example, for those of you in the Greater Toronto area, you might want to check out the Sustainable Condo Exhibit on display at CBC Headquarters [250 Front St] from Nov 2nd - 14th.

Created three years ago by the Vancouver based not for profit organization EcoSmart Foundation, this 1000 sq ft travelling suite is made entirely of environmentally friendly materials as demonstration that it is possible to build houses and condos that are both reasonably priced, as well as, having a minimum impact on the environment.

For those of you who cannot make it, or would like more information, I would encourage you to spend sometime on the Sustainable Condo Site . It has a wealth of information about the program and how "human comfort and sustainability can be achieved by combining smart, innovative design with state-of-the-art green building technologies". Furthermore, all of the products are affordable and available from local suppliers and manufacturers.
