What People Say. . .

June 2005
. . . During the first panel discussion, entitled "How to Gain a Green Office Environment," one panelist described with pride (and at length) how she convinced her office to convert from the disposable bathroom towels in their office bathroom to an air dryer. My eyes drooped shut and my head nodded forward.

The evening’s tone changed dramatically during the break, when, while I was speaking with George (and plotting a graceful departure), a guest grabbed the microphone. George told me that the speaker was renowned environmentalist L. Hunter Lovins, a true hero among the green movement. Her present company is called Natural Capitalism, Inc. The few words she offered made me realize the world is beset with problems that we in the development community cannot ignore.

"I have distressing news, she said. She then described in stark terms the problems regarding the deterioration of the ozone layer and global warming – serious ecological issues that will deeply impact our children’s lives. She described how we have a short window of time to address these problems and that we all must become familiar with and try to incorporate the concept of "sustainability," that we not waste energy, and strive to reuse what we have.

After hearing her speech, I came to two sober and depressing realizations: first, forget trading in my SUV with a less fuel efficient (yet cooler) model, and more seriously that with their development on North Ashland Avenue, George and Susan Sullivan are ahead of their time. The techniques and processes that they are utilizing to “build green” are vitally important. Every responsible developer should learn about the incentives being offered by local, state, and federal government, and realize the financial benefits let alone the personal gratification, that one can glean by going green. Not only is green construction a new niche that every developer should consider pursuing, but if these prognostications are correct, "going green" must be a commonplace way to build and renovate property.
