Nuvali One Evotech
Nuvali One Evotech Building is a cool structure. And by cool I mean literally cool.
The building was designed to have cool air entering the premises and plants planted between ramp-like pathways to encourage easier walking. There is only one elevator which, if one uses these ramps would not be used, especially for those who want to have some “leg work” done.
This green building was built according to the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) standards.
Another green building with green roofs was also visited in this trip, along with a visit to beautiful green homes. I’m not sure if Baldwin door hardware was used in these homes but I am sure that recyclable materials and minimized use of artificial lights are a part of the package.
It would be good for these homes to use Eco-Furniture too.

Composting 101
I have talked about wanting to go back to backyard gardening here. This has been fueled more when we recently went on a field trip to a nearby ecology center and the proper way of composting, among other topics, was discussed.
The kids were made to dig for worms in compost pits. Ewww, I know but these worms are necessary to keep the garden in great shape. In fact, one can purchase these worms in gardening stores.
I looked up videos online to see how composting is done. I also came upon an interesting compost tumbler for composting.
Now, if you have a small space for a compost pit, here was what the lecturer told us: get pots (preferably clay pots) with a little garden soil in it. Put fruit and vegetable peelings, leftover food, dried leaves on top of the soil and cover with soil. Do this over and over until the soil and the other filings are mixed.
A good compost helps in fertilizing the soil to make the garden healthy. If you have a Starbucks branch near you, ask for free used coffee grounds for your garden.
