Per Jane Henley, CEO of World Green Building Council,
We’re urging people worldwide to take direct action for a greener environment, and your actions can make an immediate difference if you “Get Up, Green Up.” Why not pledge to cycle to work, or convert to a paper-free office? Changing to energy-efficient lightbulbs in your home or office can make a big difference, too. Visit the World Green Building Week website to learn more, see the list of events near you, and find out how you can get involved.
There’s still time to check out the schedule of events and join in on the local and global conversations of green and sustainable building and development.
