Article: Green Building and Climate Change (http://www.informedbuilding.com/In-the-News/Legislation/Green-Building-and-Climate-Change/)

This is such an informative article.I did not know that the buildings could be  source of  carbon dioxide emissions, making our homes and offices a leading contributor to global warming. This awareness needs to be spread far and wide.

It is interesting, especially considering how much cars are demonized in the fight against global warming. What is even more scary is the snowball effect- somehow I doubt we as a people are going to quit cooling our homes as the temperatures keep climbing.

At the same time, making VOC information common knowledge has been popular and pretty effective- more because people are concerned about inhaling poision gas than because they're trying to save the planet, but it's a definate step in the right direction for awareness and effort.

  This a very informative artical ,I have ever read on this forum.This artical gives good insight in the subject.A new comer going through it can easily understand.

That was an informative article.  I had no idea that our buildings helped worsen the problem.  I should have known, I simply did not think about it in that light before.  Thank you for sharing it with me.
