"We pledge to be more aware of our impact on the environment. In doing so, we make a commitment to reduce waste, conserve energy and ultimately, minimize our carbon footprint. Through our awareness, we agree to protect the environment through conservation and the active selection of environmentally safer products. We encourage others in our workplace and those with whom we do business to do the same. Through our joint efforts and continued education, we pledge to be more environmentally conscious in all aspects of our daily life."

The mission of the Green Building Initiative is to accelerate the adoption of building practices that result in energy-efficient, healthier and environmentally sustainable buildings by promoting credible and practical green building approaches for residential and commercial construction.
