It's crazy to think we're now cruising through the new year.  It's also sad to think about the tragedy that hit Haiti.  As the world continues to turn, we'll keep talking about the most important stories that somehow touch on green building.  We also want to thank our sponsor, Green Build Post, a green building forum that's documenting several industry trends, including the construction of a green, modular New World Home in The Hamptons, New York.  Here's a summary of last month's coverage, if you missed anything:
