This Earth Day: Why is sustainability and green building an easy-sell to some, and resisted by others?  A few key books provide a plethora of explanations. Steve will present interesting facts and hypotheses from social, cognitive, and political sciences, and climate change works, that will help you answer that question. Steve began a booklist in 2003 in his quest to understand more about the environment and the perception of it. More and more has been written about the topic, almost to a crescendo; and Steve’s short list can get you up to speed.
Fresh from his presentation at AIA’s Gulf Coast Green in March, which was completely re-engineered from the ground up, and very well received, this will answer a few of the nagging questions we all have and guide you to more in-depth exploration. Each attendee will receive anupdated booklist, which features a host of books that will make this discussion different.  AIA & USGBC CEU’s available.
