VISION House L.A. Grand Opening Around the Corner

VISION House Los Angeles will open its doors to the public on Sunday, June 10th for tours.

It's almost time for the Grand Opening of VISION House Los Angeles! I am so excited to announce that the project will be open to the public for tours on Sunday, June 10th from 11am to 5pm. I would love to meet you and hear your comments.

There are a lot of great green features and products in the House. If you're a skeptic, tired of hearing the word "green", or think you'll be uninspired then I challenge you to come with an open mind.

Sustainable living is a choice and everyone starts at a different level of thinking. We'll be successful with this project if people are educated. That's the goal - education.

Many people have determined that sustainable living/building green is unattainable and it's just not true. You don't have to tear your whole house down and replace every single item at once. Start small - replace your water fixtures, change out your incandescent light bulbs for LED lighting. Start recycling if you don't.

A friend of mine recently started replacing all the light bulbs in his home -- one-by-one -- as they burned out. He's not even finished replacing all the bulbs but is already seeing energy savings of 20-30% a month which he can only attribute to the lessened use of air conditioning due to less heat being given off by the LED lighting he is now using.

We are excited that Honda joined the project and will be showing off the FitEV. Mythic Paint products will be used in the House and if you are not familiar with this soy-based, no VOC product you will want to check it out. Also, Green Rock's decorative rock will be used in the landscaping--this product is made out of recycled concrete.

Whatever your level of sustainable living we hope you will join Green Builder Media and Structure Home in celebrating the opening of this project. Hope to see you there! 1162 Via de la Paz, Pacific Palisades, CA.
