Michael L. Barton is a consulting architect with the Energy Solutions Centre, in White- horse,Yukon, an organization that helps, steers, or initiates, e-green planning and design for various innovative, creative, and exciting projects. Current projects include a Co-op housing project; which will eventually become a small eco-village; an eco-resort; a cultural centre; seniors housing; and the Athletes Village for the Canada Winter Games, (2007). We are planning to recycle, and even re-locate, the residential units as affordable hous- ing in Yukon communities after the Games.We think this is a pretty green idea.
