Once again early December brought me to Washington DC for the EcoBuild Conference. This year I teamed up with Nadja Turek, PE and LEED AP, to present what might have been the session with the longest title (Leveraging Geospatial Information for Sustainable Solutions at the Ecosystem, Campus and Community Scales). We also covered a lot of ground from very big picture to the very detailed stressing the importance of gathering quantitative data and qualitative testimonials in order to influence people’s decisions and actions to live sustainably and responsibly. Our closing slide was:
Live like it matters. Live like what you do has an impact – it does matter to all of the other living organisms on this planet, Earth.
There were many good discussions and presentations but one in particular has had me thinking about “what’s possible”. It was about the Net Zero Energy building at NREL. Take a look —http://www.bdcnetwork.com/2011-zero-and-net-zero-energy-buildings-homes. Very Interesting!
With that, Best Wishes to You and Yours for a Happy Holiday Season and let us make 2012 a Prosperous, Green, Sustainable Year!
