Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters switch to green power in their homes, in a year we'll avert the weight of the Taj Mahal's dome in CO2 emissions.

Cocktail Tidbit
The Cubs’ Wrigley Field originally opened in 1914 as Weeghman Park, home to the Chicago Chi-Feds or Whales.

Getting juiced to buy a grand slam green home? Check out LivingRoom Realty for the inside scoop on the city’s still limited, but growing green housing options. Realtors Annie Coleman and Abraham McClurg (see photo) have their eye on the ball: to help buyers find sustainable residential properties and live/work spaces, while getting the best eco punch-per-dollar. (Tip: Bamboo floors and recycled glass countertops are sexy, but cover first base first, e.g. energy-efficient furnaces and soy fiber wall insulation.) We also like that LRR, which opens offices mid-month in West Town, walks the talk with reclaimed wood desks and shelving that Abraham built from the space’s old flooring, and no-VOC paint on the walls. Just the kind of coaching we need to make a break for home.
