This week on NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS

Kermit was always fond of saying "It's not easy being green", but that may be changing here in New Mexico, at least when it comes to green building.

New research finds that nearly two-thirds of homebuyers are now aware of green building practices. And, nearly 40% of all home renovations now involve some sort of green product or green building technique, whether it be better insulation, using more recycled products, or installing more efficient windows.

In honor of Earth Day, NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS will look at the green building movement here in the Land of Enchantment. We'll talk to local experts who are leading a national movement toward more environmentally friendly construction practices. We'll also introduce you to a local business that is cashing in on the green building industry. And, we'll tour two Rio Rancho schools that are currently under construction and will set new standards for green building here in our state.

It's a jam-packed show that you won't want to miss, Friday night at 7pm, here on KNME.
