After working for over a decade to spread ideas and inspiration about sustainable living, I find myself at a crossroads, asking tough questions as I reflect on the state of the world. Is addressing resource conservation, healthy homes, renewable energy, high-performance building, and enabling technologies enough? After all, what is sustainability?

As many of you know, esteemed Green Builder Ron Jones and I founded Green Builder Media in 2005 to affect positive change within and beyond the building industry.  In conjunction with our extraordinary team, we’ve held fast to our mission of perpetually expanding the frontiers of sustainability, with the goal of offering topical information about sensible, cost-effective solutions and elevating the national dialogue about how we can more appropriately align the built environment with the natural one.
