    This is a very cool site, that focuses on Sustainable Design. Great stories and photos of amazing projects from around the world, that convert old buildings into new living spaces, new home designs using interesting materials (check out the article of Love Nests) and also articles on sustainable building designs for the future.

    The explosion of technology has, possibly, created a slow down in the acceptance and use of green design....interesting points showing the clash of interests in the advancement in science

    I utilized this program in my design work at Northeast Solar. What I really like about this application is 1. It's free and 2. You can share you Templates with the world. Oh, and 3. You have access to all the Free Templates from the World! Some great person shared a template (Template = a design package including tools, data, configurations, that you can utilize in the sketch up world) that I can use in unison with Google Earth, to design, plan, measure, size, and then show, what Solar electric (PV) opportunity they have for their building. It was really useful. SketchUp is 3D modeling software that's easy to learn and incredibly fun to use. Download SketchUp today for free and get started drawing in 3D.

    Ecovative Design introduces mushroom material- products and material made from agricultural waste and mushrooms. Items such as surf boards, structural bicomposites, and packaging to materials such as insulation and synthetic foam pieces for cars- this mushroom material is a great alternative to plastic and chemical based materials.

    Biotecture at its best! Green Buildings which can be constructed in any part of the world and designed to meet and exceed existing building codes. Earthships provide electricity, potable water, contained sewage treatment and sustainable food production for every building.
