ECOnstruction
Green construction from the ground up. This process uses bio-diesel powered equipment to transform surplus and waste materials into sustainable communities. The carbon credits saved are sold to lower the cost vs benefit. These savings are passed along to the owner/renter/developer. The structures are built to accommodate the owners tastes and needs such as fire-retardant, water/air tight, and tornado/hurricane/earthquake/blast resistant. Geoexchange/Geothermal HVAC is a must. Modern or Conventional designs are available.

Pair-up Environmental For Profits w/Environmental Non-Profit
The idea is simple. Pair up Environmental For Profits with Environmental Nonprofits. Whether it be to help with business advice, resources, assistance with going green, certifications etc, or client referrals.
WITS is such a nonprofit environmental organziation. We would love to get ISO certified but have no idea where to start, we cannot afford the thousands to bring in a consultant. If we could work with a for profit who is currently undergoing the process, it would be a great help.
