These two links highlight the work of one of my former colleagues and friend Cynthia Loesch. Cynthia has been an advocate for her neighborhood of Codman Square (located in Boston) since her teenage years. She recently built a 100% green home inside her community which she used as a model to allow neighborhood residents to learn how to conduct green retrofitting ideas to be more energy efficient and to save money. http://www.81brent.org
