How "Green" Is It?
An important part of Design Coalition Institute's mission is developing and disseminating educational materials to assist civic, neighborhood, tribal, and local government groups with the planning, design, and construction of "Green" homes, facilities, neighborhoods, and communities.
__________
We invite anyone to view, download, and disseminate the materials on this website, including the materials described below, which will give newcomers a sense of what our team means when we talk about "Green."
