David Suzuki to Keynote USGBC Member Day

Washington, DC, June 16, 2006--Five years ago, 4,000 people converged in Austin, Texas for a defining moment in the green building movement: the first Greenbuild Conference and Expo. Since then, green building has become firmly established on the national agenda, and the 12,000 people who will attend Greenbuild Denver this fall are working to make sure it stays there. But the growth of the green building movement doesn't mean that our environmental and economic problems are solved; instead, it is a reflection of the fact that we have realized just how essential green building is to the solution. Dr. David Suzuki, a scientist and impassioned environmentalists, was among the first people to make that connection. At Greenbuild Austin in 2002, he delivered a keynote address that many people in attendance cite as the moment when green building became a passion as well as a profession. Dr. Suzuki has always been a step ahead, challenging and inspiring the green building community to expand its vision and explore new boundaries. As the keynote speaker for this year's USGBC Member Day, he will truly help us take green building to "a higher elevation."
