This morning (Wednesday), Inhabitat launched what will be a weekly how-to series called Green Building 101. Yes, the logo is beautiful (kinda connotes a place setting, actually), and the pitch is perfect:

The summer series will introduce readers to the fundamentals of environmentally sustainable building through tutorials structured around the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system--the U.S. Green Building Council's benchmark certification program for green building. Over the course of the 10-week series, Green Building 101 will present a comprehensive overview of how to make your living space environmentally friendly, equipping readers with a better understanding of what "green building" really entails, along with basic tools, tips and DIY suggestions for applying sustainable design to homes both old and new.

The first topic is Location & Linkages: Five ways to insure your home is sustainably located, making the most of existing infrastructure.
