It's all I can think about.  Thanks for the article.  I'll get back to you
soon about this.

This is a short article I wrote about the potential of a Permaculture Relief
Corps response in Haiti.  Please tell me what you think and if you know of
any efforts mobilizing to make something like this happen.

Are any mycorestoration experts, maybe Paul Stamets or his folks, involved in
Haitian ecosystem rehabilitation efforts?  Are native Haitian fungi currently
being cultured at scale?  If not, could the community effort use a couple of 
fellas to go get some tissue samples and bring them back?    I'm an
ecologist, not a mycologist, but I'm in Washington state, close enough to Dr.
Stamets' lab, I learn quickly, can probably cover travel expenses, and my
brother speaks a bit of Creole.  Enough to get what we need.
 
Darren Doherty, or someone else involved in the project, if you're reading
this, would you please bring us up to date on existing permaculture efforts
on the island?
 
Thanks,
Tripp Tibbetts

State adopts greenest building codes in U.S.
Marisa Lagos, Chronicle Sacramento Bureau

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

(01-13) 04:00 PST Sacramento --

Newly constructed hospitals, schools, shopping malls and homes in
California will be some of the greenest in the world, after a state
commission voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the most stringent,
environmentally friendly building code standards of any state in the nation.

The new code, dubbed Calgreen, will take effect next January and
requires builders to install plumbing that cuts indoor water use, divert
50 percent of construction waste from landfills to recycling, use
low-pollutant paints, carpets and floorings and, in nonresidential
buildings, install separate water meters for different uses. It mandates
the inspection of energy systems by local officials to ensure that
heaters, air conditioners and other mechanical equipment in
nonresidential buildings are working efficiently. And it will allow
local jurisdictions, such as San Francisco, to retain their stricter
existing green building standards, or adopt more stringent versions of
the state code if they choose.

"This is (something) no other state in the country has done -
integrating green construction practices into the very fabric of the
construction code," said Tom Sheehy, acting secretary of the state
Consumer Services Agency and chair of the California Building Standards
Commission, which approved the standards. "These are simple,
cost-effective green practices. ... California should be proud."

The code was supported by a wide range of building industry and realty
associations, as well as the state Chamber of Commerce. Industry
officials said that it would increase construction costs only slightly.

The regulations were opposed by several private organizations that offer
construction rating systems, including the nonprofit U.S. Green Building
Council, whose LEED certification system for sustainable green building
and development practices is one of the best known in the world.

Elizabeth Echols of the U.S. Green Building Council's Northern
California chapter said her group is most concerned with the provision
of the code that would allow cities and counties to adopt more stringent
standards, which she said could result in confusion for builders, local
governments and the public. She rejected the notion, suggested by
several speakers at the meeting, that her group was simply trying to
protect its market share by discouraging a competing verification system.

State officials said the regulations create a single comprehensive code,
clearing up confusion over varying regulations, and it allows builders
to receive green certification without paying a third party.

In July 2008, the same commission approved similar, voluntary building
standards, and it has worked with the construction industry since to
develop the mandatory code. As buildings account for about one-quarter
of the state's total greenhouse gas emissions, the new requirements will
be an important step in helping California meet its goal to fight global
warming by reducing the state's greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent
by 2020.

The commission took action after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed
legislation in 2007 that would have instituted a green building code for
the state. The governor, who praised the standards approved Tuesday,
said at the time that the commission, not the Legislature, should draw
up the regulation.

Matthew Hargrove, a vice president with the California Business
Properties Association, said the regulations will be especially useful
for smaller jurisdictions that have been unable to develop their own
green construction guidelines

"There will still be jurisdictions that want to go with LEED - San
Francisco will not ditch it," said Hargrove. "But outside the coastal
areas it will be helpful - like in West Sacramento, where they looked
into creating a green building code but balked because it's cumbersome
to develop and they didn't have the resources."

His members, he said, have been clamoring for a state certification program.

"At the end of the day you will have a whole bunch of cities that never
would have included this in their building doing it, and doing it in a
way that won't kill the economy," he said.

The unanimous approval of the first statewide, mandatory green building
code in the US!

Change is truly in the air, folks!
