As the days lengthen, I look back at the green building movement and wonder how we could have done more. In some ways we accomplished a great deal over the last thirty years, but in the ways it counts most (the health of the planet) we have fallen well short of our goals.
This issue centers on both hope and loss. We honor the legacy of another pioneer, Carol Sanford, who passed away at the end of last year and was an inspiration to many of us who focus on regeneration – a writer, thinker and business consultant who adopted several of us in the green building movement to bestow her energy and ideas.
The School of Regenerative Design (SORD) is finally up and running in early form thanks to a generous donor – and in September we will host an important retreat I’m calling “The Death and Life of the Green Building Movement” to look at how we as a movement can pivot and change our strategies to have bigger impact, especially with the new political headwinds. Only a few tickets remain, so please consider joining
