I’ve blogged before, but nothing seriously. So I’m gonna try this out and see where it goes. I’m interning at an excellent real estate company and from what I can tell with the industry (taken as a whole), I see no obvious concern for the environmental impact of building design and construction. It’s weird because we live in a world with finite resources such as water, natural gas, oil, etc. I mean, I know there’s an abundance of coal, but resources have a way of becoming expensive, so it makes sense to build buildings that use less resources. Buildings that have a lighter footprint.
Developers say it’s too expensive to build or develop green, but I have a feeling things will change.
I like modern design and environmentalism. I guess you can say Jetson Green is a blending of two concepts "modern" and "environment." Maybe "contemporary" and "green." Maybe "futuristic" and "socially aware." With the title of this blog, I’m trying to say I will assess the crossroads of these things, but maybe I didn’t do too well with that. So, let the blogging begin …
Well, Preston, you predicted the future pretty well.
