Check out this short clip from a keynote address “Going Green Makes Economic Sense,” given by David Gottfried at Stanford University.  David Gottfried is the founder of the U.S. Green Building Council.  Gottfried discusses how green building is being linked to the bottom line. He says that bankers and Wall Street will eventually begin to demand green certification standards because of the value of investments in green building.

  1. Great post. My team at Art Energy Design are working hard creating functional, attention grabbing mechanisms to spread the message that green makes green for both business and the public. Spreading this message is a business in itself and the root purpose of our mission.

    We were recently contacted by the U.S. State Department requesting a price and design proposal for 30 of our Power Flowers to be given to each of the G20 leaders. Green can make green.
