CURRENT ISSUE: Winter 2010
A green community conserves its land, offers multiple options for transportation, provides open space for recreation and cultivation, and uses its natural and cultural resources wisely. The Winter 2010 issue of On Common Ground focuses on this broad approach to "green", an approach that encompasses the building, its surroundings and how our communities function. It is this holistic approach that is being recognized as the best way to conserve our resources and our planet, and is currently finding favor in the market.
