It is a valuable a community for both buyers and suppliers. Buyers have a resource for what’s new in green building solutions, so if you are doing any remodeling or expansion, there is lots of good information. Suppliers have both a targeted advertising and PR vehicle.  Free press is worth its weight in gold.

There are three general areas where ecopreneurs can submit information for consideration:

A products section where building products manufacturers that have interesting products to showcase are encouraged to send materials.

A News section where stories are posted weekly on the GreenSource Web site. In their words: Is there interesting news in green legislation? Was your firm awarded a commission that is newsworthy? Is there something new to report in the world of green initiatives and design? Are you managing a major green competition? If so, send them the info.

A case studies section, where you could be one of five projects (four overall building designs and one interiors only) that are showcased every issue.
