What's Next from Green Home?
We've worked hard to create a helpful, innovative resource center on the Web and what you see now is only the beginning! As we continue to build Green Home, we're breaking ground in a number of exciting ways and thought you might like to see what we're up to and tell us what you think of our direction. Please tell us what you think.

Green Home Living Magazine
We're now on our fifth issue of our companion Web magazine: Green Home Living! Here you can find all the latest information on relevant aspects of everyday living and how to approach them from an environmental perspective.

Green It Up
Institutions that claim of themselves that they are committed to green values include colleges and universities that have environmental studies programs, as well as churches, temples and mosques that have environmental stewardship committees. Other institutions with a commitment to green values include health spas and yoga retreat centers. Reaching out to these institutions often involves a lengthy process of explaining what the benefits of "going green" can mean to them. The Green It Up Program helps these institutions understand what the options are for becoming more environmentally friendly, and offers them a practical program to go green in a way that's cost-effective and painless.

Greenovations
Many leading environmental inventors and entrepreneurs are attempting to bring new green products to market, but are hindered by the high manufacturing and marketing costs. This program aims to provide resources to this growing community, providing a showcase for the best ideas through an annual Greenovations Awards program, thereby allowing these potentially new products an opportunity to reach an audience.

Production Transparency
Tired of poor product design and dull choices? Picture this: an array of plans for high-design tables. None have been made yet but the designs are displayed on the Web. Now we vote. If your choice gets the minimum number of votes, it gets made for you and you're able to monitor the whole process. Suddenly, you're the production manager. You decide not just what to buy but what gets made. At Green Home, we're developing this very model with some of our partners, to offer you in the future. We call it "production transparency." You'll call it the most innovative way to make and buy since the assembly line met the supermarket.

Ecotown
Green Home plans to have a non-profit, training program for inner city youth. Ecotown, as it's called, will offer young high school graduates the opportunity to learn how to conduct Green Home inspections. By doing so, they will position themselves for future work, and help insure the saftey and environmental health of their local communities.

Service Referral
Green Home plans to offer a comprehensive set of locally-based environmental services and information to its customers on the basis of their zip codes. We will tell you which paint is best for your climate, who in your area can install energy-saving insulation, and where you can recycle your batteries. Many products are only environmentally sound if used correctly. Green Home believes this unique resource will bridge the gap between theory and reality.

Home Testing Equipment Rentals
You'll be able to test your home for hazards like lead, radon, dust mites, and asbestos with our easy-to-use environmental home inspection kits and equipment rental.

These are a few of the projects in the pipeline. Now, please give us your comments and suggestions by filling out our survey.
