Green Day Forum to Hit Gerding Theater Nov. 4

Think of it as a series of TED talks with a common sustainability theme… On November 4^th sustainability leaders from around the Northwest will convene for Green Day Forum.  Discussions will take place around regional trends and policy, how sustainable building is moving to the next level, whether technology influences occupant energy behavior, and what the issues are that green building is ignoring. 

The keynote presenter will be Edward Mazria. Edward closed his architecture practice to focus on transforming the building sector from a leading contributor to climate change into a central part of the solution to this crisis. He now directs Architecture 2030, which has called for all new buildings to reduce their fossil-fuel GHG-emitting consumption by 50% by 2010, and increase reductions to carbon neutral by 2030.
