Good evening, Greenies.  I’m leaving tomorrow for Greenbuild so expect a flurry of excited reports from the field.

The green party is going to be all over the city, and if you need help, check out the green schedulers available to you here. The USGBC throws an organized shindig, that’s for sure.

Safe travels, everyone, and check back for photos and updates beginning November 19!

Greetings, Greenies.  In my search to bring you evermore comprehensive green resources, I realized I’ve neglected to include a link to David Johnston’s What’s Working, Inc. WW is an independent green building consultant firm, and Johnston is himself an expert on the subject, having published Green Remodeling: Changing the World, One Room at a Time, a thoroughly researched guidebook from New Society Publishers on converting to more sustainable spaces.

Why am I directing you here?  On the WW Web site is a terrific resource guide to an assortment of building-related green links.  Check it out here.  I’m also adding it to the blogroll at left, for your convenience.

Kitchen & Bath Sustainable now has a blog roll of some of the greatest green resources on the web - check out our friends on the left side of the page, under the search box. And, as always, if you have a suggestion for a great design resource you think we should include, leave a note in the comments section.
