What does it really do? Enter Ecolect, a new online materials database that is hoping "to be the largest, freely accessible sustainable materials library in the world". What is seeming to set this database apart from others that have been so far created is that users can upload images of their own projects, descriptions and impressions in order to better inform other potential users. If you happen to live in San Francisco you can even attend the launch party tonight.
