Earth Day 2009: The 39th Annual Earth Day is just around the corner. This yearly event was founded in the U.S. in 1970 as an environmental forum and is celebrated in many countries every year. Earth Day is designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment.
As part of the Architecture 2030 Challenge, we would like to remind everyone to look for cost effective ways to reduce energy consumption in our designs and everyday life activities.
Giving Back:
In tough economic times it is common for businesses to tighten their belts. That is why Teta Architecture has entered the 1% program - a program that "connects nonprofits with architecture and design firms willing to give of their time pro bono." Teta Architecture is dedicated to lending a hand and furthering our goal of advancing the health of our community. eco Advice: When selecting and specifying materials, try to find materials manufacturered and distributed locally to reduce energy use in transportation. This will not only reduce fuel costs, but will help the local economy.
