The US Green Building Council (USGBC) estimates that the green building market will grow to $140 billion by 2013, with green build products and materials projected to account for $30-$40 billion per year. Green buildings are everywhere, from New York to Las Vegas, as the mass media has made the public aware of this growing trend. Why are they being built, are they good for the environment, and do they make economic sense? You will hear about the history of green buildings, which organizations certify green buildings, and what practical sustainable solutions make green sense when you listen to this Saturday's Green$ense Radio show.

We have a diverse group of green build experts who will explore the green build issue from the ground floor up so that you can make informed decisions. Join Green$ense host Robert Colangelo as he interviews attorney Amy Edwards from Holland & Knight; David Baum from the Baum Realty Group and the Green Exchange; Doug Farr from Farr Associates: sustainable urbanism and architecture; Doug Widener, Executive Director of the Chicago Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council; and John DeWald, the developer for Serosun Farms.
