Certified Green Dealer Crosses 4,600-User Threshold

The Nation`s Only Green Certification Program for Lumber Dealers Now Has 4,600
Building Material Salespeople Pursuing Online Green Training
LAKEVILLE, Minn.--(Business Wire)--
The Certified Green Dealer Program, the nation`s only program for certifying the
nation`s green lumber and building material dealerships, just announced that it
has crossed the 4,600-user threshold.

Today, 4,600 building material salespeople have pursued the Program`s online
green training, and these people- all working in dealer locations that are
either certified or pursuing certification- represent the best-trained green
experts in America`s lumberyards today.

These dealers actively use the Certified Green Dealer online content for
training and customer education. Indeed, the 4,600 users have already viewed the
Program`s web-based content more than 405,000 times in 2009.

The Program has also recently signed two new sponsors. Dow has taken a Gold
Sponsor position, and Simonton Windows has taken a Silver Sponsor position. With
their sponsorships, these companies join other leading green corporations that
sponsor the program, including DuPont Tyvek, Owens Corning, Masisa, ThermaTru,
and Bostik.

About the Certified Green Dealer Program

A fully independent entity, The Certified Green Dealer Program is a
distance-learning and testing system that certifies that lumber dealer personnel
are trained in the basics of green building science and green product knowledge.
A lumberyard or building material dealer location can become a Certified Green
Dealer if 75% of its sales personnel view a series of web-based training videos
(and pass eight individual quizzes) about building basics, green building, and
green building products.

The Program is not affiliated with any particular national standards-setting
organization, such as NAHB, USGBC`s LEED program, FSC, or SFI, though those
programs are explained in the Certified Green Dealer online content.

The Certified Green Dealer Program is entirely web-based and can be accessed by
visiting www.CertifedGreenDealer.com. At the Program`s website, interested
parties can view with no commitment a brief, free video that explains the
Program. A sample educational module from the Program is also available for
viewing with no obligation.

To participate in the Certified Green Dealer Program, lumber and building
material dealers pay a per-yard tuition fee, which is currently $899 per yard in
the first year and $599 in subsequent years to maintain certification.
