Go green for Earth Day

Posted by Chris Cronin, Green Giant

This year, we're celebrating Earth Day with the launch of a new website: SketchUp: Go Green! Our site highlights green projects by design professionals who use SketchUp. One such person is Michelle Kaufmann. Her eponymous architecture firm uses Google SketchUp to create prefabricated single-family and multi-family homes. Check out this video to see her story:
In addition to showcasing green projects, SketchUp: Go Green! features information about:

• how the solar industry uses SketchUp to design solar system installations for buildings
• SketchUp-compatible energy-analysis tools that you can use to better understand the environmental impact of your designs
• other resources that are available for folks who are interested in green design

Speaking of Earth Day, Google's What will you do for Earth Day '08? is definitely worth a visit, too. Aside from the inspirational content, it's a neat implementation of the Google Maps API.
