As a symbol of our cultural moment, the MTV Video Music Awards program Sunday September 10 was unexpectedly complex. I tuned in mid-Sarah Silverman, who was already deconstructing Britney 2.0, who had just gotten offstage. MTV (VIA), where the target demographic has drifted down to tween girls (largely because of the influence of Britney 1.0) now has the awkward problem of trying to recover buzz for a TV channel in a MySpace (NWS) world. And so the setting was the Palms in Las Vegas, America’s city of the future. Vegas is both a-historical and could be powered by the sun (WFC) (see also here and here), so it’s a place to watch (unlike the spent cultural dinosaurs of New York and LA).

If you're interested in China and the environment, like me, you have been reading The New York Times' Chocking on Growth series. It is an excellent set of articles on all of the major environmental problems the Chinese people and government are facing in the coming years and decades. It is staggering, to say the least. And for as long as I can recall, the government has been pretty unsuccessful in their efforts to combat environmental degradation. Their environmental body, SEPA, has always had too few employees and too many problems to deal with, not to mention other power issues related both to central and provincial government. Essentially, it was, and generally still is, toothless.

I come from a family of construction and real estate gurus, so naturally the panel on green buildings at the AlwaysOn GoingGreen conference not only intrigued me, I even knew a little bit about the subject. Luckily it took place on the first morning of the event. The take-away is simple. There are two major ways to make construction greener. You can make changes to the architecture/design of the building, and you can make changes to the materials you use. For optimal green building, these two must compliment each other… while keeping pricing competitive with conventional methods in order to attract mainstream adoption.
