Born on a small ranch south of Albuquerque New Mexico, Mayor Rob Adams has lived in the American Southwest all his life, residing in Arizona for 25 years as well as previously residing in Colorado and California. Adams reflects: "I have witnessed the growth that has occurred during my lifetime with disregard for sustainability of our resources. Because of the unplanned growth, we have sprawling cities, lack of public transit, air and light pollution, concerns about sustainable water supplies and numerous other environmental impacts. Adams continues: "The thought that keeps occurring to me is, we are losing what has attracted people to the West. In my own family, my mother brought along with her the culture of the Eastern part of the USA (Ohio); my father was from a ranching family and was a roommate of Edward Abbey. Together they blended a way of life defined in a love of the land, respect for hard work and a lifestyle based on family values. I was brought up as a steward of the land long before this phrase...

By Michael S. Greene Reproduced with permission from Indoor Environment Connections™, Volume 4, Issue 6, April 2003We all love green.

Is your building forest green, kelly green, lime green or 1950s kitchen avocado... Read More »
In Her Own Words Commentary by Maureen Herron, Editor ©November 2007Luciana Souza is an artist who brings all that she is to singing, playing and/or performing whether that’s a live performance or a soundstage at a recording studio. Her sustainability is her stewardship, conveying in vocalization, wordless singing, solo or in relationship with her trio the sentiment that all is in balance in the ebb and flow of life. One of five children born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Luciana grew up in a home in which her mother would recite poetry of Neruda when the children were wound up. They would instantly stop, wondering what their mother was saying. These were also the years of a dictatorship in Brazil. At 41, Luciana notes how much her country has changed: “The freedom of democracy. . .in some ways, there is a sense of order.” Forever, though,... Read More »
