The Green Building Community

The green building community in Cleveland is a thriving group of diverse people with a common interest.

Anybody interested in green building should contact The Cleveland Green Building Coalition, which is a wonderful local resource.  The Cleveland Environmental Center at 3500 Lorain Avenue is home to the GBC.  www.clevelandgbc.org

Entrepreneurs for Sustainability is an organization with about 400 members, many of whom are involved as business people in the green building arena.  Their monthly meetings, which are held on the third Tuesday of every month, feature speakers of interest to anybody with a concern for the environment in general and our region in particular.  www.e4sustainability.org

Jim LaRue, House Mender, Inc., is an icon in the green building community and one of the nicest people you will ever meet.  Jim recently retired but his website www.greenbuildingcookbook.com is still up.  It features much useful information including an exhaustive list of websites, books and magazines.
