Hello world!

It is December 7 2008. This is my first post on Green Building Ideas. I am a sales manager in the building material industry. I also have been doing some blogging over the past year on a different topic. You can see one of my other blogs here Diabetic Help.
Over the past several years I have become more involved with the practices of green building and I finally decided to create a blog on green building. The phrase “Going Green” means something different to many people. Going green may mean recycling or conserving natural resources. But to someone else it may mean not cutting down trees. Even more don’t even understand the concept at all. As I have learned more about the LEED standards in the building industry and worked with people doing green building projects it is even more aparent that many just don’t get what “Going Green” is all about. When I see home owners driving their Hummer and building their multi million dollar vacation home, say “I want our building products to be green”, don’t understand what going green is about.
This site will be mostly under construction (Green of Course) most of December. I hope you will vistit often and see the new posts. My goal is to provide many resources to help with any kind of building project while offering green options. I will be providing many links to the green building industry. I will also provide some resources to find green building products and how they may compare.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come back often.
