Jason McLennan on Leading Conversations radio with Cheryl Esposito to discuss, “Nature Is In the House”

 

Cheryl Esposito welcomes CEO of the Cascadia Green Building Council, the Pacific Northwest’s leading organization in the field of green building and sustainable development. He is author of The Philosophy of Sustainable Designand author/co-creator of theLiving Building Challenge, an international green building program.

Jason is a leader in the global green architecture movement and challenges us to imagine and demand buildings that operate as elegantly and efficiently as the living structures nature creates. He says we need to see our building structures as our habitat. Nature can be our teacher, help us re-vision our environment, and the way it gets created. The ecosystem can inspire buildings that support life and all the beauty it holds.
