Today marks the first ever World Green Building Day. The declaration was made by the World Green Building Council in an effort to bring together green building councils from around the world. In honor of the day, I put together a list of a few “building green with concrete” links for you to peruse:

• The U.S. Green Building Council
• The Portland Cement Association’s (PCA) ConcreteThinker.com
• Green buildings case studies from the Portland Cement Association (PCA)
• The Sustainability page from the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA)

And here are some articles from the pages of Concrete Contractor that look at building green with concrete:

• “Pervious Concrete: How to Place and Cure”
• “The Cincinnati Zoo Focuses on Improving Its Environmental Impact”
• “Go White to Go Green”
• “Going Green in the Residential Market”
• “Taking a ‘LEED’ in Wisconsin”
• “Making Greener Choices”
