Recently, I attended a conference on sustainable design and was surprised at the number of participants networking, listening, and contributing in numerous discussions and seminars on energy and the environment.
At one of the seminars, the speaker addressed a concern that I also share, which is “Yes, we can do that.” He expressed his concern that the true energy and environmental issues facing us today may be overshadowed by those interested in being perceived as specialists, but with their focus on generating business more then striving to overcome the obstacles associated with our appetite to consume energy and negatively affect our environment.
