Green Wednesday 2006.1115

[ArchitectureWeek Editors]

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

Green Wednesday, by the editors of ArchitectureWeek, brings you
weekly news on green design and building from around the world.

With GreenBuild kicking off today in Denver, and the world
environmental meeting in Nairobi, many thousands of people have 
traveled this week to convene around sustainability issues.  
All in a most vital cause, although we wince at the natural resource
impacts of all that movement.

Next week's news, going into the U.S. holiday, should be brimming 
with reports from these events!
