Transforming the world around us requires courage. Challenging conventional wisdom demands innovation and imagination. And crafting a new vision for the future necessitates finely honed communication skills.
Over the past several months, we have been working with the Walt Disney Imagineering team to develop the VISION House® in INNOVENTIONS at Epcot®, a ground-breaking green show home exhibit that highlights the very best in green residential design and sustainable living. The Imagineering team has an incredible gift for communicating important sustainability messages in fun, creative, and imaginative ways that positively alter the world around us.
I’m delighted to announce that senior Imagineer Joe Tankersley has agreed to share some insights into how we can use the magic of storytelling to create a more sustainable future in an interview with Green Builder Media President Ron Jones on our Impact Series: Game Changers in Sustainability webinar program on January 19.
Joe, who has been with Walt Disney Imagineering since 1996 and has worked on projects for Epcot®, Magic Kingdom® Park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios TM, and Disneyland ® Resort, will be a wonderful addition to our list of visionary and “unreasonable” (in Shaw’s sense of the word) speakers for the Impact Series, which include internationally renowned author and sustainability expert Lester Brown, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, ocean activist Jean-Michel Cousteau, venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki, environmentalist Dr. Marcus Eriksen, Vice President of Global Responsibility for Starbucks Ben Packard, former EPA and FBI administrator William Ruckelshaus, and Co-Founder of Celestial Seasonings and Horizon Organic Dairy Barney Feinblum.
The interview with Tankersley will be held live on Thursday, January 19 at 11am PDT/2pm EDT, and will then be available on demand on our website at www.greenbuildermag.com. To register for the webinar, go to www.greenbuildermag.com/impactseries.
We thank our generous sponsors for the Impact Series—Trane, Schlage, Boral, BASF, DuPont, Beam by Electrolux, BioBased Insulation, and Green Builder Coalition—who help make all of this innovation possible!
