they meet someone new who could use your products or service,
they hand your card out and recommend your services*. It's as
simple as that! It's simple because it's based on the proven
concept of what goes around, comes around. If I help you, you'll
help me and we will both benefit as a result. To visit the New

Sustainable Design Resource Guide
One of the most
difficult aspects of environmentally-responsible design is to
find the most suitable materials and available products that
help sustain the earth and human health. Until now, it has been
difficult to find sources for suitable materials and products
from local or regional sources. Through the leadership of two
local organizations, a multi-disciplinary group of building
professionals created this Sustainable Design Resource Guide.
The Denver Chapter of the American Institute of Architects
Committee on the Environment and the Colorado Chapter of
Architects, Designers, and Planners for Social Responsibility
have worked together to provide a convenient resource and to
fill a need not covered by other guides.
