The Green Dollhouse ProjectMaking the entire world greener and its buildings more eco-friendly is a gargantuan task, but the Green Dollhouse Project offers a way to improve the health of our surroundings, step by small step. Inviting all design professionals and design students to send in their own eco-friendly dollhouse, the project offers "national media and museum exposure ... and a chance to change the world, one dollhouse at a time." The winning entries chosen by a jury with a "keen eye for green and healthy sense of fun," will be put on display at the Coyote Point Museum in San Mateo, CA (just south of San Francisco) and five other venues during a tour around the country.
The idea for the competition is simple: to "inspire lots of people (big and little) to take steps to make their own homes a little healthier and easier on the environment." Of course, the idea of socially and environmentally responsible architecture is daunting, especially as cookie-cutter suburban homes pop up all over the United States. The Green Dollhouse Project admits, "Many people still think of green building -- if they think of it at all -- as a bewildering subject best left to the experts." There is hope, however.
