Clean-energy incentives

If you’re wondering what incentives your state offers to clean up your energy act, visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) at  http://dsireusa.org/.

Reuse centers

Reuse centers are a great deal for everyone. Builders and remodelers have a place to drop off cabinets and sinks without paying the landfill, consumers have a cheap source for useful materials, and landfills can last longer.

This site is beautiful, amazing, and a little bit creepy. It should be required viewing for all architects and engineers.
