Green Statement/Products:
The concept behind sustainable design is to minimize any negative impact on the environment through thoughtful and educated design. Although some firms have philosophically designed with the environment in mind for years, the industry wide movement can be contributed to two organizations that have been instrumental in this pursuit: The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the U.S. Department of Energy.
