Integral Systems and Ecological Concern

Capitalism and Environmentalism have been at odds for decades, yet David Johnston is pioneering sustainable growth and green building despite the odds. Johnston has consulted with the US Department of Energy, the International Energy Agency, and Alameda County, CA. Remodeling magazine named him one of the top 50 contractors in the U.S. And that's because David starts from the premiss that "nothing is sustainable unless its financially sustainable," and thus he is able to motivate all the stakeholders to go green. And just how big of an impact may David's work have? "In the US, and even globally, the building stock is the major depletion of resources, and major user of energy, beyond any other sector; we think it's Big-Bad industry, we think it's transportation, we blame the SUVs, and yet every time we turn on the light, adjust the thermostat, we find that buildings account for the majority of the goods and energy that we extract from the planet." Do you see why David Johnston's vision is so important? Listen and in and see how he does it.
