Green Log Awards

We are excited to announce the winners of the 2009 GREEN LOG Home Awards!  This year has seen a dramatic increase in the public’s desire to find green building solutions for their homes.  We are proud that our contest is able to highlight some of the best solutions in the world.  From water conservation to your kitchen countertops, there are hundreds of ways make your home healthier, more efficient and sustainable.

This year we had 14 categories and over 60 nominees.  The judges found many categories filled with worthy candidates.

Recently, BuildGreenRadio.com interviewed Jim Young, Chair of the GREEN LOG Home & Lifestyle Awards. You can now hear the complete interview at BuildGreenRadio.com/blog/.

In this interview, Jim Young discusses the inception, creation, and launch of the 2008 GREEN LOG Home & Lifestyle Awards. In his discussion with Scott Stroud from the Green Building Journal, Jim Young says, “This is really a public recognition program. We’re trying to get the public involved, everybody in the industry… I think the tagline ‘Building a Greener World One Home at a Time,’ really says what the objective is here; that we’re interested as an organization, and as a community, really, to promote the idea of green building. And, I think there’s a great deal of recognition out there that this is an important topic. So, people are getting on board, and I think that’s a great thing.”

In this interview, Jim Young also discusses log homes as a green building solution. Learn more about green building and log homes at PrecisionCraft.com.
