… given the opportunity, I would still take my money to someone like Jay’s Tumbleweed Homes, or a Tortoise Shell / Galapagos off grid model, Brad’s Tiny Texas Houses – or even cross the border to Canada if I desired something more visually in line with the Clayton house. (I clearly forgot the name of that company, sorry. Mini Home?)

So, yes: it’s a good sign if it’s real and they actually start switching over more and more of their production to reflect green. But 95% percent of my groceries come from non-chain grocers, I shop in person/no internet at indie book and record shops, I go to the same Mom and Pop magazine store for all my architecture and design needs …and if I ever am lucky enough to own a home of any size: I’m just not buying it from Wal Mart.

Kinda funny how you can look at something and say “Allright, that’s the way we wanna head” and then at the same time think “I sure hope you sell a lot of ‘em without diminishing the dimes going into the folks we’ve known and admired for some time now.”
