In a time where we need something to stimulate the economy, here is one idea that may do just that. Not only is it promoting sustainable building but will help our economy become independent of foreign energy. I think that all ideas should be part of a national dialogue to make the US a stronger nation. Energy independence is part of that package as well as financial independence. Go green. Go red, white and blue. Green is the new red, white and blue.
Here is one idea that is being considered right now as part of the 2030 Challenge:
The 2030 Challenge Stimulus Plan is generating excitement and gathering steam on Capitol Hill.
The “Top 10 Ideas for America” will be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day. Change.org will then build a national campaign to advance each idea in Congress.
You can read the full Plan here.
Yes, The Hoots Group has signed up to be part of the 2030 challenge. We were already doing it, and when I came across this initiative it made sense to support it since there is no downside to saving money and cleaner air.

I am usually skeptical of government plans to “improve” anything, but I like the concept of this plan. The average person has a passing interest in saving the planet, but give them a financial incentive, and you have a real reason to change.
