Apologies to the camera shy members of the team but here they are hard at work at the Green Home Design Center... an amazing resource in Chicago for green building materials... the incredibly interesting social entrepreneur owner, Karen, fed us amazing sandwiches and shared her 10 point system with us... again, everything is a trade off...something may be 100% recycled but made in LA versus something that is 50% recycled but made locally - which is greener??
we opted to go for locally made when we could and then look at content, re-use, cradle-to-cradle design and of course, cost....
