So what exactly is "Going Green?"

By Paulette Zuena | Published: October 17, 2008

As with any new concept or idea, sometimes it takes time to become familiar with the terminology or definitions.  It occured to me that “Going Green” might be similar in some respects to “Eating Light.”  Just what exactly does it mean to “Go Green” or how do we define a “green building or home?”  Like you I’ve noticed more and more “green” products, “green” commercials “green” events.  While we all understand the general idea, I try to be a  knowledgable consumer.  With that in mind I offer this useful resource.  Remember too, that your design projects may be eligible for a tax credit when you file your return.!
