For homeowners interested in restoring their historic homes, but worried about the environment, solutions are available! A "Go Green" section is included on the National Trust site at http://www.preservationnation.org/magazine/2008/january-february/green-home-tips.html. The American Institute of Architecture provides resources on the topic as well (http://www.aia.org/nwsltr_cote.cfm?pagename=cote_a_200608_preservation). While the economic and social benefits of preserving our nation's past are widely published by the government and nonprofit organziations, citizens and interest groups need to remember that preserving our world for future generations requires more than "fixing up" the past. Preperations must be made in the present also. The Whole Building Design Guide provides guidelines for water efficiency, sustainable sites and materials, and conserving energy among other tips and resources. This information can be found on their webpage http://www.ccb.org/resources/sustainable_hp.php.
