Major cities in the United States and around the globe are moving toward
building “green.” Find out what “green” means to Tulsa and Tulsa’s plans to be a green city. 
Plan now to attend the Green Building seminar, next in the “Greening the (918)” Seminar Series co-hosted by Mayor Kathy Taylor’s Green Team and Sustainable Tulsa. The seminar, featuring a panel of local experts will be held Thursday, Nov. 13 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa, 11545 East 43rd Street.
The seminar will offer Tulsans an opportunity to find out about Tulsa’s challenges and opportunities to build “green” buildings and homes.
Green building refers to components of the building process, including the use of recycled materials or sustainably grown materials to build the home; the use of fixtures and systems that will reduce the consumption of energy to heat and cool and light the structure; and the use of fixtures and system that will conserve water both inside and outside the building. Each of these items can also save the building owner money over the long term.
