Ecolect

Although I'm not entirely sure about the name, resources and knowledgebases like Ecolect are exactly what many of the research participants with whom I've worked have been waiting for (green home owners, green architects, designers, and builders). Ecolect's mission: "to be the largest, freely accessible sustainable materials library in the world." Wish them good luck in their efforts to "make sustainable materials and products easier to find" at their kick-off event:
