I'm constructing a certified green building in Oregon that uses no fossil fuels in it's operations, which happen to be carbon-negative. Please take a look at www.independencestation.com and let me know if you would be interested in helping me get the word out about this landmark green building. I'm looking for folks that would like to live in the #1 rated LEED building in the world. What do you think?
Thanks.
