This week's highlights include the fourth and last installation of Champion Indoors' useful Green Building Primer. (Love their photo illustrations, at left.) We'll be archiving this great introduction in the Getting Started Workshop for future reference. And The Healthy House Institute's entry on unhealthy chemicals used in the manufacture of furnishings, Dangerous Decor?, will be finding its way to the Interiors Workshop archives as well. In fact, we're collecting your best, most timeless contributions in our Workshops, where you can find essential information on a wide range of green building topics.
