There is now a World Green Building Day, and it is tomorrow! The World Green Building Council has declared September 23, 2009 as the inaugural day for you, the green builder!
Nations around the globe will be hosting various gatherings, including the USGBC’s Congressional Advocacy Day.
“As the built environment accounts for 40 percent of global carbon emissions, the green building movement has an unprecedented opportunity to make a major contribution to both national and international carbon reduction targets,” said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO and Founding Chairman of the U.S. Green Building Council.
