Inhabitat

As the Associate Editor at Wend Magazine, I am constantly writing about everything green, from design to the outdoors. Although our magazine mainly focuses on environmentalism from an outdoor enthusiast’s perspective, I do a lot of research regarding green building and design… in fact I’ve been known to link to many a post from the Inhabitat blog! Living in Portland makes me love green design all the more. On top of it all, I love my digital SLR and know how to use it. If you pick me you’ll get the eye of an editor and the passion of a green design obsessed 20-something that still believes we can make positive change for our environment.

I started in construction in 1976, and then moved into greenbuilding in 1995. I graduated from Seattle Central Community College’s ’sustainable building advisor’ program in 2006. Since then I have lived in San Juan County (WA) and have authored numerous proposals to encourage our county to become greener. I love to write – my main reward has been writing for the Islands Weekly – 27 published articles to date. At the moment I am helping a local non-profit charity (well two actually) get a sophisticated web presence. Later this year I will be teaching the local builder’s association greenbuilding.

Dear Inhabitat Team,

I co-founded http://www.theconscioussnob.com, an online magazine focused on a sustainable lifestyle for young women. The Conscious Snob likes to shop with a purpose, eat for her health, read for continuous growth, and contribute ideas and efforts to the local community in order to maintain a certain sustainability and integrity in a culture that slowly lacks such elements. The Conscious Snob is opinionated and ambitious, talented and observant, courageous and thoughtful.

We would love to have the opportunity to have press presence at this event and share with our readers and future visitors a detailed report of our experience, photos and more. Please consider us.

Regards,

Temy

OK, I am not a big shopper, But I am a big doer, big user and big specifier of all things green.

Bonded Logic — blue jeans are green and all, but are harder to cut, and dustier than fiberglass, & consequently more labor. Vetrazzo — handle carefully, because those slabs are so very delicate and expensive. Quartz might be more competitive. Low VOC paints — buyer beware, as they might not apply well. Balancing the real world with the ideal — that’s the perspective I’ll bring.

Last year I supplied you with a bunch of locally-grown community garden dahlias to brighten your presence at West Coast Green. This year, I’d be honored to provide the coverage your readers deserve, stylishly of course!

My name is Christopher Pigusch I’m currently getting my degree In Digital art and design at full sail university. I have a firm belief that art is every place we look including in buildings. These structures are not just a place where we live or work but can be a beautiful piece of artwork that can make a statement and shed there beauty on everyone who walks by them. Construction in a LEED design I think should be a must for all buildings not only does it take a step in saving are world but also in time are money two. The reason I should get this pass Is because I am passionate about green architecture being a work of art in which we live in and I can use my knowledge I get there and spread it to everyone around me and one day create buildings that will inspire great change thought the world.

Hello!
Found this wonderful opportunity at the 11th hour, and thought I’d try to squeak the deadline even though my Saturday is confined to British Columbia’s Pacific Standard Time, and so, perhaps a whisker’s width late.

My journalistic experience was founded upon a summer internship with VICE magazine and later as a copy editor for the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada’s Roots & Shoots magazine. Since then, my writing has been limited to short stories and the upkeep of a personal, and for the most part irreverent, blog. A sample of which can be found here: Whomunculus.

I am currently compiling a portfolio for entrance to a landscape architecture program. Beyond that intention, my exposure to green innovations has been mostly determined by blog-lurking, a handful of urban planning classes and weekly forays to the local library: Admittedly, I am green in a many senses of the word. However, though I have taken the less-prestigious route of the autodidact, I think that this attribute would be beneficial to this specific task, for I do not carry partisanship and I find myself ever-thirsty to know more.

My interests in ecological awareness are too numerous to list with any degree of concision, but they range from the visceral phenomena of human well-being and aesthetics to the intellectual dialectics of eco-psychology, emergent properties of systems, deep ecology and liminal spaces (my favourite). In sum, I am simply in awe of how we as a species influence the way our environment influences us.

With crossed fingers and much admiration for all that you do,
Tom Corcoran

Over the past two years, I have been introducing myself to the eco-friendly and green lifestyle. I started small. Shopping local and purchasing organic foods with my own bags moved on to recycling and composting, and making my house greener. I still have a lot to learn which would offer a great perspective on all of the issues, materials and processes being explored at this exposition. I am also trying to get my city, Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is not known for green to become more eco-friendly. We need to know about more resources and how to impliment sustainability into our construction. The coasts are so far ahead of the midwest and south. We need to spread the message to these demographical areas.
