The Faux Pro (right) and Susan Colwell, CEO of My Green Cottage pause for a photo op at the HGTV gala party held in June 2009. Most people who want to build or renovate green must conduct their own research. That means trying to keep up with the latest green building trends, products and methods by reading articles, searching websites and attending green-building shows on a brochure hunt. But unless you are a green builder, the task is often daunting, expensive and ineffective.

My Green Cottage has done the work for you. They offer thoroughly researched products and service professionals under one roof--wall systems, windows, doors, roofing, lighting, flooring, appliances, plumbing fixtures, cabinets, counter-tops, architects, builders, designers, landscape professionals--anything and everything you need to complete an eco-friendly new home or renovation project.
