In the desert, should green be called something else?

ABC 15 => Local ‘green’ homes come with impressive amenitiesOne again, I’m always pleased to report this kind of stuff. Especially so when it’s right close to home.

A local developer hopes his new project may not only make people homeowners, but heroes to the environment.

Aura at Camelback will be the first environmentally friendly subdivision in the Valley.

Solar panels, underground garages, water-conserving toilets and dryscaping (ie, dirt lawns) are all a start, but I wish the article provided info on the subdivision. That really isn’t all that radical.

So, I went looking and found this article in the Phoenix Business Journal, which gives a bit more detail. The project meets LEED standards.

I’m not going to buy one, but I can’t wait to go see what they’ve done. Although I always have wanted my own elevator and an underground lair. It would be like living at SHADO headquarters!
