Dear Readers,

I feel it is my duty to introduce our new writer, our newest groovy, green girl, if you will. Her name is Lenna. She’s really pretty and she’s as groovy as the come (second to me of course). But she will be sharing her greenness with the world as well, and I felt it my duty to warn you of her impending genius.
Carry on. Drive hybrids. Recycle. PEACE.

So, my brother whipped his Blackberry out at dinner the other night telling me I needed to see some website about a solar home in Maine. I’m not from Maine and being from the Boston area, the only thing I associate with Maine is boredom. But my brother told me I would be interested since I’ve caught the green kick, so I humored him.

Apparently there’s this couple in Maine, William and Deborah Lord, who constructed a solar house on a thoughtfully-chosen plot of land. The house isn’t too deep into the deep woods of Maine so that way, more sunlight can be absorbed by the solar roof.
