I wanted to get some ideas of what I could tag to my e-mail signature, being in the profession of Architecture, that promotes Green building. Any ideas?
The one I have now is "Consider Building a Better Environment !"
What do you think?

That's pretty good.
It is a lot like the one I use on my site: "Dedicated to improving our built environment"
Both statements are pretty vague and not necessarily green.
How about: "Green Buildings Rock" or (for the nerds) "Green me up Scotti"
"green buildings are beautiful", "greener is better", "be smart go green",

Wait a minute..."green" is anything that is beneficial to the environment, non? Promoting "green" doesn't have to use the word green IMHO...especially since Joe public doesn't quite get it yet....

But still...mine just doesn't quite say "it" for me...(sigh)...
I mean, I added a little green tree symbol thingie and the font is in green so...it does get something across I hope.
How about "Consider the enviroment in your project"
Consider the environment in your building"
Build a better future for our environment
Better Building for the environment
Build better for the environment
Build a better environment
Build Green
Green Building is our future
There is no future without Building green
Green is good
hahaha...

Save the Concrete Jungle? 
In a way it is a bit contradictory...Architecture is all about building man-made structure in place of nature, no matter how we do it. But the simple purpose of "green" building is trying to do so less intrusively.

Solent Green in new time released plant food tablets. Aunt Ida can still take care of your household plants, while you are gone.
Gives the cliche "one with the nature" new meaning.

How about -Why not build green?
or -Let's do a better job of taking care of our planet.
Waste not want not
or how about:
Regardless of anyones opinion on climate change we are ending the era of cheap oil. Unless you are really wealthy it will be in your best interest to build green.

grow your next project
build a better tree
weeds? No...mixed grasses, yes!
Save the construction industry: add more regulations
Save a tree; build around it
Redefining The Greenhouse
Green in the Black
No greeny, no buildy
