Our Goals and Methods
Now, we won't even try to take credit for the slogan... everyone in preservation is using it these days, but Carl Elefante gets the nod for putting it out there. So, thanks Carl!
You might also be asking some of the same questions we've been asking ourselves lately, like: "OK, how do we do it?! How do we make our old buildings green?" We hope to find some answers.
Our goal isn't to sell you on green preservation. Well, there will probably be a bit of that for the doubters, but we imagine most of you are like us and are already there. What we need to do is compile resources and strategies to help fellow travelers make a good case for green preservation.

Proving that if you tear down a building, put it in a dumpster, and truck it to a landfill site so you can build "green"... you're fooling yourself.
