Global Green Commits More to New Orleans

Globalgreen_donateYesterday's New Orleans CityBusiness reports that Global Green plans to invest an additional $17 million on green building initiatives in New Orleans during 2009 - with an emphasis on their Green Seed Schools program to retrofit and upgrade two more schools to make them more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Global Green is also seeking donations to help support continuing efforts like the Holy Cross Project, Build it Back Green, and green policy advocacy efforts and forums for professional builders and the public. Consider a year-end tax-deductible contribution today to help these very worthy causes.
