Yesterday I read a short [interview with Rick Fedrizzi](http://articles.courant.com/2012-10-19/business/hc-fedrizzi-green-building-20121019_1_rick-fedrizzi-buildings-effective-energy),* the CEO of the U.S. Green Building Council ([USGBC](http://usgbc.org)), and it got me to thinking about that organization. They're probably the largest, most well known green building organization in the world.
