“The convergence of nanotechnology and environmentally sensitive ‘green building’ is here, it’s happening now,” said Dr. George Elvin, director of Green Technology Forum and author of its latest report, Nanotechnology for
Green
Building. “In one case,” Elvin noted, “a company is saving $2.6 million in energy costs and reducing their CO2 emissions by 35 million pounds per year thanks to a single nanotech innovation.” The report highlights successful examples with over 250 hyperlinked references to case studies, university research projects, patents, and technologies available for license.

Not only is nanotechnology going to help, but lower tech solutions like green roofs can help also. The EPA has been doing quite a bit of work in Chicago, and the results have been extraordinary.
I have found this topic so interesting that I started a blog, http://www.cleanerairforcities.blogspot.com .
I would like to link to this site and vice versa.
