...that is, unless you're eco-building stud Brian Dunbar. This 25-year veteran professor's made countless folks experts on green construction at CSU. He's eco-fying other schools too, recently helping a local K-5 grab the nation's first LEED for Schools gold-level certification - no easy task, so we kept our Qs simple:

What's your favorite part of working to green local schools?
BD: You get to involve the school children, as the building becomes part of the curriculum.

What's your eco-confession?
BD: I flush the toilet too often.

What're you up to when you're not working?
BD: Trying to see a [baseball] game in every Major League ballpark. I've been to 26 of 30, with my two boys and my wife. It was [her] idea. I married well.

Wanna Try: 

We hear you can find Brian tossing back a cold one at the New Belgium brewery, 500 Linden St., Fort Collins. Map It (970-221-0524).

Cocktail Fact
