Small House Building Newsletter no. 8
July 9, 2009
Greetings All,

Just wanted to pass along to all you readers an interesting website I ran across today:

http://www.dsireusa.org

The home page has an interactive map where you can click on your State and find out what incentives there are for renewable energy and energy efficiency. There's a LOT there, so it may take you awhile to get through it all.

Also, make sure to check out the latest issue of Small Living Journal and my article contribution, "Does Small Equal Cheap?". Leave a comment on the blog if you're so inclined!

Still have to do my write up about the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair this year. We didn't get to go for too long this year (about 3 hours), but am always energized by all the great information and people there. I even had the opportunity to talk with John Ivanko, author of Ecopreneuring, about his practices of running their B&B (something I'd like to do with the old family farm someday!).

Until next time...

Peace & Properity,
Anne Lupton
SHB Editor
