If you've been reviewing our website, you have seen these goals of the USGBC Florida Chapter multiple times:

• We want to create a sustainable State and green buildings for all within THIS generation.
• We want to help the personal you, professional you, and community you go sustainable.

This resource section will constantly grow, so come back often. If you have suggestions to add to the list, please send them to info@usgbcflorida.org.
