In this month's Shared Vision magazine, our own Helen Goodland is a featured visionary!.. sharing with us her practical rationale for building light and why Light House as a name for our organization just makes sense! Plenty of other great articles to read about from car co-op-ing, CIRS (the world's greenest building), Tom Osdaba connecting the sustainability dots ... and much more.

This is a community powered site by Vancity for people in Vancouver, Victoria and the Lower Mainland who want to change themselves, their communities or their world. Its got plenty of useful information and insightful stories, on top of a nicely (and locally) designed site. I'm not sure how I feel about changing EVERYTHING... but hats off to the Vancity community expanding the forum.

Let's think about ideas that last. For one thing, they don't stay as
ideas. They become embedded in the way we see the world: from cultural
signposts to everyday utility items. Underground parking, email,
snowboards, disposable coffee cups yoga have all become recognizable
aspects of 21st Century life in Vancouver.

What about buildings?
To ease the pressure on global resources and climate change while
meeting the needs of a growing population, we need to think differently
about what, where and how we build. We also need to do this together.

Ideas That Last was the SBC's inaugural exhibition of completed sustainable building projects showcasing the breadth of sustainable building expertise in our region.
