ECO TIP of the MONTH
Brought to you by IdealBite
Composter Child
The Bite
Wanna be the shining star of, um, mulch? Set a good example and snag your green compost bin before the mandatory compost law goes into effect October 21 to avoid potential fines. Here's how: Call up Sunset Scavenger or Golden Gate Disposal (apartment dwellers can ask landlords to do it), and it'll drop off bins with San Leandro-made BioBags for no added charge next to your regular trash pickup. Next, scope out what you can compost (about 30% of trash). Want more? Check out a free urban composting class. You'll be the new gold standard.
The Benefits
- Composting keeps mulchable waste out of landfills (where it often won't degrade), plus, SF'll be making some cash by selling the compost back to local farmers
- After we started composting, we had enough less trash to switch to a smaller municipal trash bin, saving $72 a year.

Sustainable Design - Balancing Building Science & Building Art
A holistic approach to Sustainable Design & Building emphasizes Building Science and the Systems Approach – but what about the Spirit of Place and designing so that the built environment nourishes those who will occupy the space?
Tapping into the essence or spirit of place, and the essence of the people who live there, is an important step in making a house a home – and making it a truly Sustainable home – one which will be ‘home’ for many generations.
Susan will talk about and show examples from contemporary mentors like architects, Sarah Susanka & Christopher Day, as well as discuss some universal concepts found in feng-shui, wabi-sabi, shibui, geomancy, phi, right-brain thinking, and classic elements of design.

Topic: Holistic Perspectives on Sustainable Building from Around the World
Description: In this presentation, our panel of speakers will provide an introduction to the basis and principles of the following holistic perspectives on sustainable building:
* Bau Biologie or Building Biology
* The Natural Step (TNS)
* Biophilia
* Western Feng Shui
* Vastu Shastra
Bau Biologie and Feng Shui are used today in the US, while The Natural Step, Vastu Shastra and Biophilia principles are gaining more recognition. Therefore, it can be a great advantage for green builders to have at least a passing familiarity with these concepts so that they can properly serve clients who may be interested.

North Bay Green Building Professionals Guild
Topic: Management of Green Construction Projects
Description: In this presentation, you will learn about techniques for organizing and managing Green construction projects. We will share stories from the trenches and discuss how the pitfalls might be avoided, or at least mitigated. Though we like to believe that green building is just good building practice, there are certainly issues that are directly attributable to “green building” in terms of cost, sequencing, and documentation. Some green features do not necessarily fit with “common” building practice and must be communicated down the chain of contractors or they can easily get lost. We shall address these issues and offer ways in which to improve the outcome as painlessly and effectively as possible.
