This has been an altogether exhausting week. Working so many hours has just been unreal so I already requested off for pretty much all of next week except for Monday night at the restaurant so with the end of this week I'm really looking forward to the next. Hopefully I'll have time to like, eat and sleep.
With everything at ISP I really feel like I'm making progress. It has been fascinating to really analyze all the different checks and balances required to deem something as "green" or not. It is such a broad label that in a lot of ways I feel like it has lost some of its meaning. So many products out there advertise to being "green" but if it has to travel half way around the world to get to you are you really making any progress?
I am perpetually shocked by the incredible number of descisions that homeowners who are remodeling or even starting from scratch have to make. Every detail counts and I mean that in ever sense of those words. It's incredible the amount of thought that has to be put into every aspect of a well designed house. Then, it becomes a matter of working with the actual construction team to make all of the nit picky design elements come true. Like, when it comes to replacing a floor, a lot of times some of the advertised "green" adhesives don't work very well or since it is an a-typical material, your average contracter won't even really know what to do with it. There is do much subtlety involved in design and making a building or room come together as it should. Until now, I never realized the true scope of all the choices that have to be made.
