Local Green Building Programs<br />

United States<br />

Public awareness about the benefits of<br />

sustainability is a must. Prejudice and<br />

misconceptions can be the worst barriers.<br />

In the United States, local green building programs are making<br />

great strides toward promoting public acceptance of green<br />

building and its benefits, as well as encouraging builders to<br />

adopt green building practices. While some green building<br />

programs are sponsored by state or local government, others<br />

are administered by home building industry associations or by<br />

other nonprofit groups.<br />
