Going green, whether building or living, is quickly becoming a "normal" way of everyday life.  Normal construction practices are rapidly being replaced by alternative and sustainable construction practices.  Recycling plastic, newspapers and cardboard is also, or should be a way of everyday life.

A green building is one that uses design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants.  Buildings comprise 48% of US energy consumption, producing more than 700 million metric tons of carbon annually.  Water shortage are also near critical levels.  At least 36 states are anticipating water shortages by 2013.  The need for sustainability is never more crucial than it is now.
