The following resources can assist in a sustainable or ecological approach to architecture, planning, design and construction. Several of the references are interconnected in that organizations may also publish periodicals, offer education programs or have an Internet site. This list has evolved from seminars on sustainability and social and environmental responsibility, as well as participation in programs such as Educating Architects for a Sustainable Environment (EASE), the Ecological Design Education Network (EDEN), and the Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility (ADPSR) network. NorCal ADPSR is grateful to Lynne Elizabeth for her work on this list. Comments, corrections and additions from readers are welcomed.
