From the Editors

BuildingGreen is pleased to announce the addition of Drew George, principal of Drew George & Partners, Inc., in San Diego, to our Advisory Board. Drew George & Partners is a sustainable design and business-practices consulting firm with a passion for accelerating the transformation of the building industry to sustainability.

In related news, BuildingGreen will now be hosting the Big Green e-mail discussion group, a service that we launched in 1999 in partnership with Drew George and Iris Communications, Inc. This e-mail listserv has become something of an informal LEED users forum, in addition to supporting periodic exchanges of ideas on everything related to sustainable design. The listserv will now be sponsored solely by George and BuildingGreen. We’re grateful to Iris Communications for its service in support of the listserv for the past 5 1/2 years, and to the many active participants who’ve made it such a great resource. For more information, visit www.buildinggreen.com/elists/bg_signup.cfm.

Finally, we’re pleased to announce that New Leaf Opaque, the 100% post-consumer recycled paper on which

EBN is printed, is now certified for compliance with the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council.
