Welcome to the June 26, 2007 edition of the iGreenBuild.com eNewsletter
This month, my musings take me into the automotive world. Toyota is doing an outstanding job of not only thinking toward the future but implementing its innovations. The green building industry could take a page from Toyota; read my editorial here.
Also in this edition, Green Syndicated Columnist Sonja Persram expands on the topic of Local Improvement Changes, Marci Riseman reviews a green bathoom remodel, and a new green modular unit gets installed.
Plus news, weather, and sports! Or actually, since this newsletter goes to computer mailboxes all over the country, we'll leave out the weather and sports and stick to the news. A new Ecomarket survey report has come out, schools are distinguishing themselves in green ways, and there's a new energy plan being put into effect in New York
