from the Heartland; a Man's Man goes Green!

The Des Moines Register says: : "Eric Carlson ain't no tree-hugging hippie. He's a tall and strong country boy, a man's man who drives a pickup truck" [insert brokeback man's man joke here] "But that doesn't mean his blood doesn't run a bit green." (ick. Anyway): "Carlson, who owns EC Construction in Des Moines, included as many green building features as he could when he built this new house for himself and his family: a geothermal heating system that draws heat from hundreds of feet underground, bamboo flooring that's made of a more eco-friendly product than wood, and finished concrete in his basement instead of environmentally taxing carpeting." they tell u why too, not only does it save him money (duh) but it's a hot market now (duh) but they site numbers and even examples as far away as Canada... wow. green building is hitting the mainstream. I'd say Nascar dads are gettingit, but apparently that annoys some readers....
