I've been kind of immersed in some of these areas since undertaking the design and building of  an ecologically 
designed, green built home that is both net-metered and zero energy.    I've  been living in the house now for three 
years, and am still learning.  The whole project  started about 10 years ago when I put solar panels on my (then) 
Silicon Valley house.

For  more info on green building, I highly recommend what has become almost the cult film of  the green-building 
movement...   "Blue Vinyl":  (available through Netflix and others) http://www.bluevinyl.org/
