ON REIMAGINING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT:
“As a “clean climate” professional for more than 40 years, I embrace the goal of redirecting society’s view of buildings from the least harmful impact that is legally allowable to the most regenerative enhancements that are feasibly envisaged. The products of contemporary human industry need to nurture the future, not compromise it.”
ON A FUTURE THEY WANT TO LIVE IN:
“I believe that all people can recognize the kernel of truth in making a future that secures the best outcome for the most people. I want to live in a world that respects the limitations of our resources with every thought and action, where personal gain is derived from supporting the health and well-being of the larger community.”
