It takes both to make a house that\u2019s energy-efficient, uses less material to build, and connects with its building site \u2013 what we call \u201cgreen building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, beauty is skin deep and sometimes \u201cgreen\u201d is, too.  A truly green home is green from the inside out; the \u201cgreen\u201d can\u2019t be separated from the \u201chome.\u201d Sure, you can make any house more energy-efficient, but that\u2019s usually just cosmetic surgery.  Loading up a house with energy-saving gadgets helps a little, but a green home is born that way, starting before the design was just a twinkle in the architect\u2019s eye.<br \/>\nUNQUOTE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/zillow\">zillow<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/green_buildings\">green_buildings<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/design\">design<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/architecture\">architecture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/houses\">houses<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"diigo-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/biomedicine\/37480\/?nlid=4410&amp;a=f\">Priming the Body to Tackle Cancer &#8211; Technology Review<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-description\">Fascinating.

Question: What\u2019s it like being a writer today? Answer:<br \/>\nQUOTE<br \/>\nI would say that writers are the most desperate people I have ever seen in terms of their utter lack of self-esteem. Their incredible alcoholism. Their way of life. Also, this feeling that they are no longer culturally relevant. I was watching Mad Men and there was some executive who flies in from somewhere and says, \u201cWow, we just saw James Michener by the pool!\u201d Just the idea that writers were celebrities. That people, even some random executive from nowhere, would seek them out and know who they were.<\/p>\n<p>The demise of writers as cultural figures has happened so quickly, I think it is still a shock. It is interesting to look at younger people from generations ahead of mine, because they never counted on that to begin with. But my peers, the people in their late 30\u2019s now, to us literature still mattered when we were in our 20\u2019s. We would discuss the new Martin Amis book with a comrade who was not a writer himself. Recently, I was at a dinner with a lot of very young people who just graduated from college and a friend said, \u201cOh, Gary is a novelist,\u201d and they all looked at me like, what the hell is that? Like in a zoo! And then my friend said, \u201cAnd he is also a contributing editor to Travel and Leisure,\u201d and they said, \u201cOooo! Travel and Leisure! That must be awesome, dude!\u201d<br \/>\nUNQUOTE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/writing\">writing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/flavorwire\">flavorwire<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/gary_shteyngart\">gary_shteyngart<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/days_of_yore\">days_of_yore<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
