Hi Joe,
Going green is the wisest movement since civil rights. It's actually trying to undo some of the damage we've done for decades and start building healthier, with people, the environment and sustainability in mind.
I love talking about green and talking to home owners about the wide array of options available to update their homes improve energy efficiency and the benefits of building green.
Thanks for the link I have added it to my favorites.
Here's a list of some of my favorite resources:
1.Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) http://www.livingeconomies.org is a great resource to find organizations in your area to be involved with.
2. U.S. Green Building Council http://www.usgbc.org has tons of information
3. Environmental News
http://www.enn.com has some decent up to date articles about the green industry
4. Home Power
http://www.homepower.com has everything from do it yourself guides to tips on energy efficiency
5. Two magazines sites I visit often
http://www.yesmagazine.org and http://www.naturalhomemagazine.com
6. http://www.blueegg.com has a plethora of information
7. http://www.wiserearth.org is a great social network for folks who care about the environment and each other. It was developed by Paul Hawken, environmentalist, activist, and author of Natural Capitalism-a must read
Hope to hear more from you soon,
Karolyn

My parent company (Ocean Atlantic Agency) recently started another division called Delaware Renewable Energy. http://www.delawarerenewableenergy.com/
We are now pushing solar, wind and geo thermal on many of our new construction communities as well as retrofitting existing homes.
