I’ve been thinking about the concept of buildings that produce more energy than they consume, and dispose of more waste than they generate. If you saw Damin’s presentation you got a clear, concise picture of this idea. It’s pretty captivating.
Like lots of folks in my, um, age group, I’m dealing with the reality that I’m taking in more calories than I’m spending. This has been brought into horrifying relief once I started tracking calories with this iPhone application. It’s pretty scary how much you can rack up on a luxury FourthMeal when the first three were already a bit over the top.
So, I’m gonna check in with the fitness guru at Cyan as soon as he moves in. I’m bringing a bike in for jaunts between Cyan and my east-side office space. And, I’m heading to the Farmer’s Market for some produce each Saturday. Going to read The Minimalist’s new cookbook and try to get less protein and carb focused. The goal is to expend more calories than I take in. Kind of a personal take on the Living Building. Wish me luck!
