I’m going to be in Washington D.C. with a team of MBAs for a real estate case competition this weekend. I have some free time both Friday and Sunday and would like to delve into the greener side of D.C. Any ideas? I’m up for anything.

Has Anyone Seen “The Green House” Exhibit at D.C.’s National Building Museum?

That’s great- I wish my school had been built with strawbale and not asbestos! 🙂
DO NOT contact Monte Stettin… terrible, disreputable builder. Schlock-meister.
