On the Stands: Dwell's Green Issue
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto 
on 03.25.08
Dwell is on a roll these days, and the April green issue is no different. They cover houses made from wood (this writer's favourite green building material) including David Adjaye's cedar cube in London, (we seem to be the only site on the net that has not covered it, so here is Inhabitat) There is good coverage of TreeHugger fave Scrapile, (see New Furniture From Scrapile and Scrapile Recycled Wood Stools). Felix Jerusalem's Stroh House makes an appearance, and the Dead White Male of the Month is neither all male or dead, being Robin and Lucinda Day, the UK's answer to Charles and Ray Eames, still cranking out great stuff as they approach a hundred years old. Not yet on line but worth grabbing off the stands. ::Dwell

I know "green" is the hot ticket word these days, but shouldn't every issue of dwell subscribe to the same content of the "green" issue?
Um, isn't it less green to be building wood houses considering all the lumber that's needed? Aren't we trying to stop deforestation?
Am I missing something?
ummm - has anyone else noticed the size of the McMansion on the cover . . . .
I 'm thinking green as in dollar bills , lots of them . . . .
