Why it's so important...

The benefits of green building are immense: cost efficiency, aesthetic beauty, greater durability, reducing waste, reducing greenhouse gas emmissions... the list goes on and on. The BuildingGreen.com website has compiled an excellent article addressing "

How do I learn more?

First off, as with the other topics, I would suggest watching a number of the
videos on this site. The initial videos cover a general overview of green building, and the later videos go more into specific green building techniques.

I've also listed a number of
good books and DVDs to start with.
