"Our Common Future"

In 1987, the United Nations released the Brundtland Report, which defines sustainable development as "development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

Seven generation sustainability is an ecological concept that urges the current generation of humans to live sustainably and work for the benefit of the seventh generation into the future. It originated with the Iroquois - Great Law of the Iroquois

Happy Earth Day!

Whether big or small, let's do our part to help preserve our resources so that future generations may enjoy them as well.

“People don’t care where their energy comes from. All they want is hot showers and cold beer.” Amory Lovins RMI

As building professionals it is our responsibility to help consumers of the built environment make informed decisions about the type of construction they buy.  It is also our responsibility to continue to push the envelop and find a better way to deliver the required program, even if its as simple as hot showers and cold beer, through a more sustainable approach.
