Today's the last day to vote.

What better cause to support, and it doesn't take much more than 15 seconds to become a guest member and vote. I voted for Rebuilding New Orleans Green because I think that it has a substantial amount of influence on the US as a whole in regards to how Americans look at green building. The decision to build something that is sub par simply because it is affordable is very tempting, especially in the case of New Orleans, where many are still displaced as an effect of this natural disaster. To put such a strong effort into assuring that the rebuilding of the city is done in a smart way that responds to the climate is not only the right decision: it's one that will reach the news channels and websites of more people that are skeptical of green design and prove benefits of going green as well as the ability of green building to be affordable/accessible to everyone if we work for the right solutions.
