Once considered a passing fad, green building has
driven its roots deep into the American landscape.
City Halls in Chicago and Atlanta have green
rooftops, and green building initiatives are thriving
in Seattle, Denver, Dallas, and other major cities
nationwide. Even the United Nations headquarters
in New York will be renovated with green
principles in mind.
Can you afford to miss out on the lucrative oppor-
tunities green building has to offer? Find out more
about this vital initiative by attending a green building
webcast in the convenience of your own offi ce!

Seventy percent of the Earth's surface is water ...
and yet only three percent is fresh water, and 57
percent of that fresh water is frozen in polar ice
caps and glaciers. Only one percent of the Earth's
water is available for human consumption ­ and
the green building movement is working to
conserve that vital, limited supply. MCA has
prepared an online course, "Water Effi ciency
and How It Relates to Green Building," to inform
member contractors about the importance of
water conservation, as well as ways to improve
water effi ciency in a building project. The online
course covers how different industries use water
and provides an overview of national conservation
initiatives. Upcoming technologies and emerging
trends to conserve water are also discussed.
