USGBC applauds Conference of Mayors for sustainability efforts
The U.S. Green Building Council and the American Institute of Architects commended the U.S. Conference of Mayors for passing a slate of sustainability resolutions. The resolutions renew the commitment to local green building and clean energy efforts, which USGBC says spurs economic savings and protects the environment.
“Once again, mayors are showing courage and leadership by embracing a strong sustainability and green building policy agenda that helps communities save money, save energy, and create jobs,” said Jason Hartke, vice president of national policy at USGBC. “As the first responders on the frontlines in the battle to combat climate change, they are seeking out effective solutions and smart public policy that will help strengthen their local economies.”
