The Home Depot Foundation is giving Habitat for Humanity International a walloping $30 million for a national green-building program called Partners in Sustainable Building. The program, which aims to make at least 5,000 Habitat homes more energy efficient, will provide energy-efficient and sustainable building resources and funding for 17 percent of all single- and multi-family homes that Habitat builds in the next five years.
While Home Depot has used individual store donations and new-home builds to support Habitat, Partners in Sustainable Building is the first formal partnership between the two. ::New Mexico Business Weekly


















Beautiful Progress, I always had a good feeling about Home Depot, The Home Depot Center in LA donate generously to the youth soccer programs in economically weak areas....I love Treehugger for providing inspiring news and updates of people and companies making the World a better, greener, and more peaceful planet. Refreshing, Companies that are innovative and green are succeeding far and beyond others, and its not a trend, it's a revolution, the green revolution, you see young kids all over talking about New electric cars and bikes, kids learning about growing their own foods, College kids buying Organic when they can barely afford it, Elders investing in Green Retirements to new kids wanting to work with animals and protect our natural wonders of our loving earth. Keep it going, pass it on......Love All
I think it's wonderful that Home depot are pushing this project ... no matter what we think big company are made up of people and people understand the challenges we are facing ...
