In less than 6 minutes in a short, fun, data-packed talk at TED U, Catherine Mohr walks through all the geeky decisions she made when building a green new house — looking at real energy numbers, not hype. What choices matter most? Not the ones you think.

OMG – she’s as anal as I am, but with more research. I NEVER use paper towels. Should I? Living in a desert (Australia) where water restrictions are a way of life, I often think water is a bigger deal than energy. Of course, living in Australia where we burn nasty coal to create electricity and have a pretty hopeless green energy policy, I KNOW energy is a big deal.
My elephant is air travel as well. Can I walk home from Scotland? I may need to let Frank buy that yacht after all….
Fantastic video – thank God I didn’t see it before renovating our house. (For the record, we reused absolutely everything we could so we pat ourselves on the back for that one.)

You are two of the greenest people I know.
Thanks for the comment.
