Tim Storey replied to Pat Coyle's discussion What's the "greenest" thing happening in Indiana right now?"It is the small groups of people who have separated the concepts of happiness and materialism, "standard of living" and energy usage, change and progress. How many "green" innovations simply continue the vicious cycle of "an…"

Sorry I didn't notice your comment on my page until just now. Obviously I rarely look at my own page. Sorry about that. Best way to reach me is to message me through SI or via E mail at pat@smallerindiana.com."

I just watched a few of the presentations from the Smaller Indiana conference a month ago. Scott Massey's, yours, David Forsell's, and a couple of others. I'm from NW Indiana, Kentland/Morocco, and other than HLFI I don't…"
Marita Topmiller replied to Tim Storey's discussion What Kind of Innovation? in the group Meridian Institute"My number one rule in conducting my real estate business is First Do No Harm. It looks funny as I write it,
but integration and balance affect us from bottom to top/top to bottom. Wholistic - now that sounds hippie.
I like your integrated approach,…"

What Kind of Innovation?
I'm all for innovation. There's just something fun, invigorating, about identifying a problem and then trying to find a solution. In the first discussion, we seemed to be touching on the need for innovation. My background isn't philosophy, I was a high school science teacher/engineer, so I'm expecting some correction on terms I use from Scott at least. I enjoy the insight and perspective. The "innovation" I'm working on now is how to address the problem we have using too much energy and too…See More

Repairing, Not Replacing Windows is the Green Choice
Just wondering what this group's view on replacement windows for energy savings/sustainability is. This might seem a little mundane, but there's a bigger picture issue here. Since the mid 90's, there have been quite a few studies showing that very little, if any, energy is saved when comparing a typical new window to an original, single pane window plus a storm unit. The other issue is that the old windows can last a couple of hundred years with very little repair/maintenance, whereas new…See More

Tim Storey commented on Pat Coyle's group Meridian Institute"I like that definition of prosperity. I don't think that's what people really have in mind when they use it. It's people exploring alternative meanings (or true meanings), or just plain alternatives, that solve problems -so thank you…"
Tim Storey commented on Pat Coyle's group Meridian Institute"There's something about the "jobs" focus/rationale that's troubling to me. Talking about jobs doesn't seem to get us anywhere better than we are. Providing "jobs" is just feeding a system that many of us would say…"
Profile Information

- Other
- What is your greatest strength?
- Hard to say. I do try hard to understand and solve problems that are going unnoticed.
- What are you working on?
- Raising awareness about the waste and economic harm caused by replacing rather than repairing. Current interest is in old homes/buildings, and specifically for now, original windows. Ad campaigns and lobbying efforts have convinced people they are being wise or even "green" by replacing windows -which is not the case.

- Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?
- I hope to increase discussion/awareness of the real issues behind messages to replace rather than repair windows, and raise questions about the "disposable" mindset.
