Why a Resource Guide?
The first edition Eco-Book made it very clear that local citizens in the Central Va. area are eager to educate themselves on building a more sustainable community. The new Sustainable Virginia Resource Guide will become a must have resource for those interested in the latest advances in everything from sustainable building practices, to living a healthier more sustainable lifestyle. The best part is this guide will connect consumers with the local businesses and resources to turn wishful thinking into a sustainable reality.
