Crested Butte real estate is going to have new “green” guidelines soon if the recommendation made by the Gunnison County Planning Commission  gets the go-ahead.  The goal is to become “carbob-neutral” which means that there can be “no net contribution into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide or other gases that when emitted into the atmosphere trap heat”.   One way to accomplish this “net” effect can be to “buy carbon offsets or reduce the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent in the atmosphere generated from their project in another way.”

Although this may be difficult and sometims costly, I applaud our efforts to reduce our effect on our atmosphere for our health and future generations.  I’m sure this is only the beginning.

If you’re a builder who knows “green” or “carbon neutral” construction, I welcome you to comment with some helpful information on this blog.  This is a good thing we’re doing … and one of the reasons why Crested Butte is such a desirable place for full time residents and second-homeowners both.  We love our mountains, streams, clean air and quality of life!
