Explosion Green: One Man's Journey to Green the World's Largest Industry
Autor David Gottfrieden Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2014
Explosion Green tells the twenty-year story of how the global green building movement exploded and transformed the world's largest industry into a more robust business and environmentally-friendly marketplace, told through the eyes of David Gottfried, the man who helped start it all. Explosion Green explores the workings of the industry, how it's changed, and how these changes have helped and continue to help fight climate change and prevent further damage to the environment while creating enormous economic growth in a stagnant industry. Explosion Green reveals how all global manufacturers are in the game ? from building owners to design professionals, contractors, and facility managers, and explains the process of, not only how it started, but how they all work together towards ensuring future success of this industry. Explosion Green permits an inside glimpse into the industry, educating all who want to not only learn how to be progressive with the environment while continue to pursue unrelated goals, but how to endure a start up, providing a chance to learn from the founder of one of the fastest growing nonprofits with the widest global reach today.
