We live in a wonderful world! However, one needs to wonder what will the world look like for future generations if we don’t take action to change it for the better? The passion I have for sustainable building, design, and renewable energy powers me through each day and encourages me to crush it! However, I have realized that this passion is worthless unless it helps to educate others, share information, and inspire individuals to do whatever it is they can to spread the message. Today as part of the construction update presented by Konstructr one of the speakers said that green should not be an add on to a project but should be the project. That is precisely the message that needs to be spread! Green is not an add on benefit, a premium option, or a special feature that should be added to a building, every building we build should be sustainable, efficient, and capable of lasting for thousands of years. The word green needs to vanish from our vocabulary and each one of us needs to do whatever we can no matter how small to spread the word that sustainability is not just viable but necessary. Let us use the collective power of the Konstructr network to spread the word, educate others, and facilitate the flow of information that will ensure the world we leave behind for future generations is a bright one indeed!
