			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there is actually someone out there that really reads these blogs, I feel like I need to explain a few things. <em>Woody</em> and <em>Engjake</em> are two of my good friends. I have worked with them both at <a href="http://www.theplancollection.com">www.theplancollection.com</a> for over a year now. They started this blog as a place where they could discuss their love of <strong>green home design</strong> with anyone who would listen.</p>
<p>Well, earlier this year, Woody had some really great opportunities open up elsewhere. He is now working to make his dream of becoming an influential green interior designer a reality, but before he left, I agreed to take up his post here at <a href="http://www.houseplans.info">www.houseplans.info</a>.</p>
<p>I hope you don&#8217;t mind if I give you a little bit of an introduction about myself. I sort of stumbled into the world of residential design when I began working in the data-entry portion of <strong><a href="http://www.theplancollection.com">The Plan Collection</a></strong>. I didn&#8217;t know the first thing about home design when I first started. I&#8217;m still not what you&#8217;d call a professional residential design consultant, but I have learned a lot about the industry during my time here.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also never really been too interested in this whole &#8220;green&#8221; movement (please forgive me). Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8212; I love the environment. I can&#8217;t think of a better way to spend a weekend than to go out adventuring in the beautiful mountains here in Northern Utah. I do my best with my meager funds to make the environment a better place to live for me and for future generations. I&#8217;ve just never had much exposure to the &#8220;greener&#8221; side of things.</p>
<p>Working with Woody really opened my eyes to a lot of sustainable and practical options. So whether you&#8217;re like me and you&#8217;re new to the green way of life, or you&#8217;ve been fighting for the green cause since the beginning, please feel free to comment. Criticism is great, and compliments are even better. I&#8217;m just now starting my journey into a greener lifestyle, so please let me know what you think. Thanks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(P.S. I&#8217;ll try to include more info about House Plans. This blog <em>is</em> called HOUSEPLANS.info!)</p>
