DESCRIPTION:GREEN BUILDING EXCHANGE OPENS FIRST EVER YEAR-ROUND\nBUSINESS AND EDUCATION 
 CENTER DEDICATED TO ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUILDING PRACTICES JULY 
 28\n\n55,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY ENCOURAGES BUILDERS, DEVELOPERS AND 
 CONSUMERS TO ‘THINK AND LEARN GREEN’ \n\nREDWOOD CITY, CA -- Green 
 Building Exchange, a year-round center dedicated to vendors who adhere to 
 environmentally friendly building practices, is celebrating its Grand 
 Opening on Saturday, July 28, from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. at 305 Main 
 Street in Redwood City. The public is invited to tour the 55,000 square 
 foot marketplace facility and check out vendors who have already become 
 part of this timely and ambitious enterprise. In addition to learning 
 first-hand about everything from solar panels to bamboo flooring, 
 energysaving coil bulbs, and water-saving irrigation systems, Green 
 Building Exchange will also feature organic wine, nibbles and informative 
 presentations by experts in the green building industry. Green Seed Radio, 
 hosted by Ginnie Waters and heard every Saturday, 2-3 p.m. on 960AM “The 
 Quake,” is broadcasting live from the event. Green Seed Radio, produced 
 by Green Building Exchange, is the first commercial radio show dedicated to 
 green building and the environment. For more information, or to participate 
 in this program, call Green Building Exchange at 650.369.4900 or email 
 info@greenbuildingexchange.com. Visit Green Building Exchange on the web at 
 www.greenbuildingexchange.com.\n\n“We feel that the time is right for 
 this kind of marketplace, providing the information on every aspect of the 
 current wave of interest in sustainable communities,” said Michael 
 Schaeffer, President and CEO of Green Building Exchange. “As someone 
 associated with the construction business, I was quick to realize that 
 there was a tremendous interest in environmentally friendly construction, 
 but there was no single source that could provide information on all 
 aspects of the industry. Hopefully, we’ll fill that need here with the 
 opening of Green Building Exchange.”\n\nSpeakers at the event include 
 Eric Corey Freed, founder of organicARCHITECT, recognized for the tradition 
 of Organic Architecture first developed by Frank Lloyd Wright, will share 
 his approaches to organic and ecological design; Sustainable 
 Spaces\nfounder, Matt Golden, who was highlighted on NBC’s “The Ellen 
 DeGeneres Show,” addresses a holistic system of identifying improvements 
 in comfort, air quality and energy efficiency in the home; Green Builders 
 of Marin founder, John Shurtz, will discuss healthy approaches to 
 renovation, reuse of materials in building, and structurally sound building 
 practices; and Scott Fossel, from Green Century Institute, will look at the 
 vision of a whole system approach to ecological and economical urban 
 development. GCI is a founding sponsor of the upcoming 2008 Eco City World 
 Summit in San Francisco.\n\nAbout Green Building Exchange\n\nGreen Building
