Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal

Around the world, we’re witnessing governments, corporations, and individuals making proactive, deliberate choices that reflect the prioritization of environmental considerations. Ideas abound about how we can build the cities of tomorrow, create an economy of abundance, and develop actualized societies.

There is a myriad of organizations that are designing innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Green Builder Media recently discovered Sustainia, a group founded by global leaders like Arnold Schwarzenegger (Former Governor of California and Founder of R20 Climate Group), Connie Hedegaard (European Commissioner for Climate Action), Dr. Dajendra Pachauri (Chair of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and others to craft real political, economic, and social solutions for sustainable world.

Sustainia has correctly identified that, ‘We embrace things that hold promise for our lives--things that make us happier, healthier, and wealthier.’ The group has also rightly recognized that sustainability has very real political, economic, and social benefits today, making it a compelling factor in the way we think about everything from our homes and cities, to transportation and energy sources, even to fashion and food.

On May 30 at 9:00 PT/12:00 ET, join Green Builder Media President Ron Jones as he interviews Sustainia Executive Director Laura Strom on our Impact Series: Game Changers in Sustainability webinar program about the strategies that Sustainia and its partners, including global corporations such as General Electric, Microsoft, CISCO, and IKEA, are generating to build a greener future.
