USGBC MA - Residential Green Building Meeting with Guest Speaker Joshua May on August 14, Boston
Event Description
This August, Joshua May of Climate Reality will come in to speak with the Residential green Building Committee (and you!) about how to spread the word on climate change to anyone and everyone you engage with.
Residential Green Building Committee
The committee’s objectives are to work to raise the awareness of the benefits of residential green building and remodeling and to increase the quantity of projects registering for LEED for Homes. The committee, through education and outreach, will focus on the following:
-Hold across MA, Lunch, and LEED, education sessions and tours on topics such as Zero Net Energy, Deep Energy Retrofits and REGREEN
-Help the community understand and implement LEED for Homes and residential green building, remodeling and retrofits
-Ensure that our target markets are aware of available green building tools and resources
-Partner with other Green Building Programs
-Establish a collaborative relationship with a professional and/or community organizations
-Develop case studies and green residential building content for the USGBC MA website
Joshua is a renewable energy & sustainability entrepreneur, writer, speaker and climate activist based in Boston, MA. He has presented the Climate Reality Project slide deck to schools, business groups, universities and government/defense organizations over the last 3 years.
As a U.S. Army veteran, he was one of the leaders that organized the veteran deployment to Standing Rock last November and was on the ground when the Obama administration denied DAPL the easement for the controversial natural gas pipeline.
Joshua has also launched a non-profit to build sustainable tiny houses and micro apartments for the homeless and low-income families. This year he has climate missions planned to Bangladesh and the Antarctic to help raise awareness for areas that are facing the most severe consequences of climate change right now.
This past March Joshua was presented with the Green Ring Award for outstanding work towards solving the climate crisis, by former Vice-President and Noble Laureate Al Gore.
