Great stuff, lots to learn! thank you for the information. Surely we will be there to attend.
Great way to promote green buildings and green environment. Glad to see that people are stepping up to save the earth.
To be green concern it the prime prospective today, so that’s why the architectures are trying to put an effort to introduce such construction structure patterns e.g., introducing more open space and allow more natural light to come in instead of artificial lighting and save electricity consumption.
Recently I have read from somewhere that in Delhi (India’s Capital) have a commercial building which have huge number of plants and with the help of that they are enjoying healthy environment.
I am going to buy such plants for my home as well.
Wish I had seen this sooner. Dallas is just a 3 hour drive from Austin.
Lets hope that we can do something for the betterment of this planet. As this one is our home and we would love to give this as gift to our child.
We do not want to give poision place to our kids.
Darn,
A day late and a dollar short.
How can I find out when the next conference is?
We need more folks to come on board the Green movement.
I really wish these type of events were in more areas. I think it would be fantastic to attend.
There is more and more green building going on in my area thanks to events like this and home shows featuring green products. Educating the public is a beginning.
