Planting Buildings: The Living Building Challenge | Jason McLennan

A living building is like a flower, planted and rooted to its place. It collects its energy from the sun. It harvests its water from the rain. This building does not pollute.

He designed the Living Building Challenge 2.0 to raise the bar on green building: meet or exceed what nature provides. While the standards seem impossibly high, it may be simpler than we imagined.

Bioneers Eco-NomicsJustice Podcasts
