Closer to home: Annapolis green building tour
Green is in, especially this month, and Marylanders who want to learn how to make their homes more energy efficient and environmentally friendly can do so in Annapolis on Saturday.
Take a tour of green homes and buildings in and around the state's capital, organized by the Historic Annapolis Foundation. Geothermal, solar, grey water, you name it, most of it worked into older (aka historic) homes, just to show you don't need to start from scratch.
The tour runs from noon to 6 p.m. and costs $35 per person. For reservations, call 410-267-8156 or go to www.annapolis.org

I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.

Thanks, Tim!!!
Also on the tour... a straw bale house and the architect, Marta Hansen, will be on site to present its case study!
It is a beautiful home and the elevation does not reveal a clue of it's straw composite!
AND another site......a GREEN ROOF....the first in Annapolis and the second vegetation roof in Anne Arundel County. The more green we become the more green our wallets become too! Now that is awesome!
Did you know Annapolis is Maryland's greenest city?
