People choose to build green for a variety of reasons. Some do it for pure economic gain, others out of a sense of altruism, and still others wish to be part of the trend. Green builder Gennaro Brooks-Church will share his moments of doubt and the ways he and his clients have found meaning and value in green building techniques. Join Urban Green Council’s Emerging Professionals for a stimulating discussion on the various incentives for a green building agenda.
