Green building: quite some fad you've got there

Nadav, along with John Boeker of 7Group and Victor Canseco of Sandpebble Builders, is a panelist for a session at Greenbuild '07 convened by Larry Strain of Siegel & Strain Architects that's going on right now—"Green Guideline Specifications: Taking it Public, Making it Real." Here's how it looks.
In the next room, the fabulous Ann Edminster of Design AVEnues is convening a panel with Steve Glenn of Livinghomes, Richard MacMath of the Austin Energy Green Building Program, and Scott Kelly of Re:Vision Architecture—"Achieving Green Goals in Homes." Here's how that one looks.
They're spilling out the doors. What does this teach us?

This is one more in a string of indicators that green building, like the larger green movement, is reaching the steep part of its growth curve. Alex Steffen recently argued on WorldChanging.com that Gore's Nobel prize signaled a transition for the green movement: from trying to convince the public that there is a problem to offering solutions to that problem. He claims that the public now largely buys into the need for change, and it's up to us to offer a credible alternative to "business as usual" in order to meet that need.

It's a credible argument, although there is obviously no single turning point and we will still need to spread the word about global warming for some time to come. Still, it's hard to argue that green is a fringe movement after this last year of media attention!

Oh geez - don't tell Ann I did that, OK? Thanks for the heads-up, Bill. And thanks for your years of work at www.greenbuilder.com

Hey folks,

You've got the wrong URL for Ann Edminster's Design AVEnues. She's at http://designavenues.net. (The site will be fleshed out a bit in the next few weeks).
