Modern Green Living: My House is Smarter Your Houseâ„¢ A little bit back, I watched Josh Dorfman (owner + CEO of Vivavi, producer + host of The Lazy Environmentalist) unveil Modern Green Living. According to the company, Modern Green Living is a "go-to source for those who wish to build, buy, rent, or remodel an eco-friendly home." According to me, Modern Green Living is a nicely positioned website providing unparalleled access to (1) green experts and (2) green buildings.
Green Buildings
Modern Green Living boasts a comprehensive and impressive database of green apartments, condos, and residential communities located throughout the United States and Canada. It’s a veritable reservoir of information relating to modern + green structures, many of which have been featured on Jetson Green: The Visionaire, Arterra, + Green Valley Lofts (to name a few). The site allows visitors to rate green buildings, research a building’s green credentials, and search for green buildings in a certain city. As more buildings are built, this database is only going to get bigger and bigger.
Green Experts
Depending on who you are and what you need, Modern Green Living also has a database of green architects, green builders + contractors, green consultants, green interior designers, green realtors, and green remodelers. Find who you need, where you need, and get yourself listed (if you fit in one of the categories). Overall, I’m impressed with the site’s navigability and clarity–there really is a rich bank of information on green experts and buildings. I’m also surprised at how fast the website has grown in such a short amount of time. Go take a gander…

Josh Dorfman: The Lazy Environmentalist
A couple months ago, I wrote about Josh Dorfman and his Modern Green Living directory, so I wanted to kick out a shout for his new book in stores now. For some reason I thought the book was coming out in August and had it on pre-order, but it never cam…
Awesome website you have here but I was curious if you knew of any forums that cover the same
topics talked about here? I’d really love to
be a part of online community where I can get
opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!
