Misconceptions about accessibility and cost are the biggest obstacles to adoption of green buildings. But by tapping into Indian consumers’ existing awareness around the effects of climate change on health, we can make connections to green building as an upstream solution.
JUST RELEASED: Our research shows that when it comes to engaging the Indian consumer around green buildings, COVID-19 hasn’t replaced climate in the importance of sustainability initiatives — it has amplified it. Explore the findings: bit.ly/3avH73t

USGBC stands on four pillars: health, equity, sustainability, and resilience. Sonja is offering her own as well for @_LivingStandard: vulnerability. As she writes, "It takes vulnerability to share your stories, so why wouldn’t we commit to doing the same?"
"@_LivingStandard’s ongoing collection of stories seeks to lead by example. They show how we can tell our stories so that we can bring others in..." -@sonjatrier

We have the ability to find meaning & purpose, not in anger or desperation or anxiety, but because we care & desire to use our ability as a group to create change. We happen to accomplish this through buildings & places that improve the future. @scothorst. lnkd.in/eGtWk66
