Event Details

The Sustainable Building Advisor Program in San Francisco has partnered with the Presidio MBA Program's Green Building Club to bring you an evening of inspiring ideas, interesting discussion and entertainment.

Eric Corey Freed, acclaimed speaker and author of "Green Building for Dummies" will be sharing his brand new "bullet-point free" talk called, Dodo-Sapiens: how our way of life is killing us and the need for regenerative, bio-based buildings.

Eric says, "We are victims of our own stupidity.  Seemingly harmless decisions about our buildings made decades ago aar now throwing all of our natural systems into decline.  While every other technology has made vast improvements (cell phones, computers, automobiles), our buildings continue to be boring, energy-wasting and toxic.  In this talk, you’ll tour bold, new ideas for transforming our cities and suburbs into regenerative and restorative places.  By learning from Nature, we’ll uncover lessons to apply to our built environment that will save energy, water, resources and be healthier in the process."

 
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
  • Discover how biomimicry (study of nature as designer) can apply to our built environment
  • Understand new methods of saving water, restoring aquifers, recycling greywater by copying natural systems
  • Uncover hidden opportunities to radically transform our existing cities and suburbs
  • Discover how voluntary programs don’t go far enough, and the bold initiatives needed in your city
  • Map out an action plan for what you can do to implement these ideas
