Reason number 298,679 to live in Pittsburgh – GREEN building. You may or may not know that Pittsburgh, which was once known as a very smoky city, is now a pretty green city. There are a ton of resources here for anyone that is interested in green building. I hope to one day do green renovations on old buildings. I love the idea of taking something old and making it greener and better. Thanks to the folks at the Green Building Alliance for sending the information about this conference. I think it will be a very informative event.
