The dedication of the people and organizations behind the above initiatives and projects has proven that eco-friendly building isn’t going away anytime soon. As a contractor, I can honestly say I’m both proud and excited by the changes that wait ahead. These changes are especially evident with the new Las Vegas hotels continuing to be built. These hotels all consist of sustainable features and are also continuing to innovate the industry. We hear a lot of bad news about where the environment is headed, but it's always great to see brave people like Sam do their part in the inspiring cause of saving the planet. A lot of that is going on here in the Philippines too, and all we have to do is keep aware, support all the efforts, educate ourselves on how we can make a difference and lead others to do the same. Let's try our best to be responsible earthizens before it is too late. We can start by not complaining when we have to carry loads of inconvenient paper bags of groceries once plastic bags are banned in your hometown.
About Sam Marquit: I am an entrepreneurial independent contractor and home renovation/remodeling expert in New York. I’ve made it a point to share with my readers a day in the life of sustainable building. Forecasting the possible application and implementation of new green building materials and technologies is just one small part of my effort to reduce everyone’s carbon footprint.
