Green Architecture Benefits

Published on Apr 27 2010, in the categories: Benefits

As you know, going green brings lots of benefits. First of all you will save the environment by going green, by reducing the amount of damage you cause to it, and secondly you will save lots of money by adopting this lifestyle. There are many options which can be done when it comes to living the green life and the architecture makes no exception. There are green jobs, green vehicles, and more recently there are green buildings. Using the green architecture when designing and constructing a building is something very popular nowadays. There are certain green architecture benefits all of which result from various aspects of the buildings.

First of all the materials used by the green architecture are recyclable. This is extremely beneficial because the process of constructing the buildings will cause in most of the cases lots of waste and this waste will end up being thrown away which will result in damage to the environment. There are endless possibilities to use the green materials in the construction of a green building. For example the wood can be used for flooring, for furniture, and so on. The metal can be recycled and used for various items as it can be turned into any shape. The broken glass can be used for the interior of the walls and in this case it will provide extra insulation.


The solar panels are also another reason for the green architecture benefits. They have been available for tens of years but thanks to the progress in the technology they can now be used in the case of the regular buildings as well. They are used for providing electricity to the homes and in most of the cases the people use them to heat their swimming pools. There are two types of solar panels available. The first type uses the energy stored directly to produce energy and the second one uses the energy to heat up the water which will then be used to produce electricity.

The green architecture is very fond of the water collection systems. Just like in the case of solar panels, the concept is not new but thanks to the evolution of technology everyone has access to it nowadays. This device is usually stored on the roofs and what it does is collect the rain water which can then be used for various things such as watering the plants or flushing the toilet and so on.


The green roofing is another popular thing when it comes to the green architecture. The green roofs are roofs made out of green grass. They are cost effective and they are also very beneficial when it comes to protecting the environment. They are great to cool the building amongst other things.

Green Buildings Benefits

Published on Mar 27 2010, in the categories: Benefits

There are lots of benefits when deciding to adopt a green life. Besides the most obvious ones such as protecting and aiding the ecosystem, or having a healthier life, the economical aspect will also be improved as well. One of the areas which rely more and more on the green side is architecture, and in this article I am going to focus on the green buildings benefits, presenting you the positive points of such structures.

A green building is a building which uses and requires as less energy, water, and materials during its lifespan. The resources required for the creation of such a building are far less than the ones of a regular building, as well as the waste which results from the process of the demolition.

One of the green building benefits is the fact that it reduces the pollution of the environment because of the reduced number of resources required. It consumes less energy that a regular building and that helps as well. There will be 40% less energy used in a green building or home than in the case of a regular building.

The human health will be increased as well which means that they will be more productive thus on the long run resulting on a better financial situation. Certain toxic elements are not present in the construction of such a building, or they are replaced with non-toxic counterparts.

Most of these buildings use at least some source of alternate energy, whether solar, hydro, wind or biomass. These alternate sources of energy are far healthier than the regular ones and from an economical point of view they are way more cost effective. They might be costly to install but in time the cost will be absorbed as the bills for electricity in such a building are reduced. It is said that you will save more than 40% on the electric bill and more than 50% on the water bill.

The design of a green building is in harmony with the nature, which means that it will take advantage of it from a positive point of view. Natural daylight will enter these building easier than in the regular ones, which means that the living environment will be more comfortable.

The green buildings use eco-friendly green materials which are superior when it comes to protecting the environment. Windows can be made out of special substances which allow a better isolation. The walls could be made out of eco-friendly materials as well which will keep the house cool during the summer. The durability of a green building is superior to the one of a standard home which means that there will be less repair and maintenance required. These are just some of the good aspects of the green buildings.

The world had keep on evolving and keep on coming with more and more advanced technologies. It is true that all the technology we have today is making our lives easier, but it also has a big and negative impact on the environment. All the pollution we make with our cars, all the products that we buy without considering the amount of industrialization and resources used for it, all the stuff that we throw away into the nature and so on…all of these factors are just making the world more and more pollute and either if we like it or not our resources will be over one day. Even though we won’t live to see that day, our children and their children will do, and if we want them to have a better life we must consider this aspect and make some changes today.



There is a special field that is taking care of these things, and it is usually called green field, or green life…or any other option having the word “green”. We seem to find more and more terms these days that have the “green” word in them such as: green food, green energy, green cars, green computers and so on. And all of these things have the same principle: to live our life trying to consume as less resources as possible and to try to pollute the environment as less as possible or to not pollute it at all. And all of these aspects are meant to make a healthier life for us, but especially for the generations to come.



Since there are so many domains that are becoming “green” these days, of course there have to be some people taking care of those businesses or activities. So there have to be also some “green jobs”. This is what we are going to discuss about today, and we’ll focus just on some US green jobs. You can find a lot of them on the internet, and there is even a site made specially for these kind of jobs. It is called: www.5milliongreenjobs.org and it promises to offer 5 million green jobs in the next 10 years. So this is a domain that is constantly evolving and developing and you might want to search for a job in this domain because you’ll have good perspectives.

So now let’s take some jobs from this site and discuss more about them. Let’s begin with the “project coordinator” job offered by the “Green Building Services Inc.”. This is a firm with the headquarters in Portland, Oregon and which is searching for a talented project coordinator that will be responsible for supporting a wide variety of projects. The perfect candidate must have 1 or 2 years of project support experience in the domain of building design, construction or management.

He has to be very well organized and have good communication skills and also have technical, graphical and computer skills. In return he will have an enjoyable work environment and a good opportunity to develop a successful career. He will also get a salary depending on his experience and other benefits such as medical and dental insurance and stock ownership. The job is  full time and will be based in Portland.



There are so many jobs already on the site, and there are more added each day, so you can have where to choose from. But for today we’ll discuss about one more, leaving you with the task to discover the rest. Let’s take for example the “Environmental hygienist” job offered be the ACM Engineering & Environmental Services Inc. This company is looking for an experienced person who wants a career in Industrial Hygiene and who will focus on asbestos, mold, bacteriological assessments and indoor air quality. Among his responsibilities there will be  field work, technical writing , report generation and also data interpretation. The perfect candidate must have great technical writing abilities and can work with both critical and analytical aspects.

So we hope you made an image about the green jobs, and if you think you are qualified for one of them don’t hesitate to apply, and hopefully you will be the “perfect candidate”.

Green Pasture Products

Our world has constantly evolved and got more and more dominated by technology. It is true that all of the technology is good for our lives, and makes so many things much easier for us, but it is also true that all of the technology we use has a lot of side effects. And these effects can be felt on our lives, our health but also on the health of the earth. We can say that the earth is in a really bad health condition right now, because all of the technologies that are polluting and the abuse that is made with the earth’s natural resources. And if things  continue to be this way, the Earth will have a lot to suffer, especially in the future. So even if we might not live to see the results of our actions today (actions such as pollution and the abuse of resources), our children and their children will definitely feel the consequences. So if we want to assure a good life for the generations that will come, we must make some changes in our life.



We heard more and more these days about the word “green”. The basic meaning of this term (besides the color of course) is a much healthier life style that will improve our health and the health of the Earth, not within a few days or months, but in the years to come. This term has spread into all of the domains and today you can find green energy, green cars, green food and all sorts of other green products that can improve our lives and make the world more livable for the generations to come.



Today we’ll discuss about some green food, and we’ll choose the Green Pasture products. Green Pasture Products is actually the name of a family owned business that was started in the year 2000 by Dave Wetzel and his wife Barb. Their business if trying to provide high quality sacred food oils that are 100% natural, and which are made just like they were made hundreds or thousands of years ago, before there was the farming revolution and the industrialized food. Their main product is the High Vitamin Butter oil that was discovered many years ago (in 1930) by Dr Weston Price. This oil is made today by the Green Pasture company by using the fermentation process for the sacred cod and skate liver oils. The process of fermenting the livers of fish to extract the oil is a very old practice that may come from biblical times.  This process was used for many years, but only until the 1850’s when the revolution of industrialized food had begun. So Dave and his wife had turned back the clock and restored these foods just like they were made hundreds of years ago. Because no technology or energy is used to make these foods it means that there is a great care and concern for our generation and the generations to come. Since our ancestors used these manners to make food and today we have a healthy world to live in, it might be the same for the next generations if we take care of the environment too. Dr Price has traveled the whole world and studied the traditional diets of many cultures and this way he managed to come with good and healthy products that will help your mind, body and spirit in a natural and pure way.



There are 6 types of products offered by this company, and each family of products is available in different quantities and with different tastes and flavors.  The products are: BLUE ICE Royal™ Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend, BLUE ICE™ Fermented Cod Liver Oil, BLUE ICE™ Fermented Skate Liver Oil, X-FACTOR Gold™ High Vitamin Butter Oil, BLUE BREEZE™ Organic Coconut Ghee and BLUE BREEZE™ Organic, Virgin Coconut Oil.

Let’s discuss about one of the products, for example the Fermented cod liver oil. This one is available in 8 different versions and these are: Arctic mint, chocolate cream, cinnamon tingle, flavor/antioxidant free, gummy fish, Mediterranean, Non-gel caps orange, Oslo orange and salty cod. The cod liver oil is a healthy product which is rich in vitamin A and D. And it is known the our ancestors were using this product to be healthy and strong. The Roman soldiers had a daily ratio of fermented fish oil, the brave Vikings were using it too and even your grandma might used some cod liver and that’s why she is really healthy today, despite her age.
