Build2Sustain - Blog - Why Build2Sustain?
Chris Hill, advisory board member, has chosen to share his thoughts with us this week on what brought him to Build2Sustain.
Let me start by saying how honored I am to be a part of the Build2Sustain advisory board. When James Bedell (@jamesbedell on Twitter) first approached me, I was floored. With all of the other great attorneys out there who deal in the "green building" arena (see the links to some of their sites in my blogroll at Construction Law Musings), my first thought was "Why me?" At heart, I am a risk manager for construction professionals, not a major "green" advocate in any political sense.
Then James explained the Build2Sustain concept. In short, B2S is a concept a long time coming. The plan and method to the B2S "madness" is to make sure that we show the world that sustainable works, both economically and environmentally. Anyone that hears me talk about sustainable building will hear my "People think with their wallets" approach to the sector, and to sustainable construction. I firmly believe that if we can show how economically viable sustainability can be, the rest of the benefits will follow. James explained that this philosophy (for lack of a better word) is one of the underpinnings of the B2S concept.
Please check out Build2Sustain. The project and concept is great and I am honored to be a part of it.

What Issues Need To Be Addressed In a Sustainable Project?
Sustainable projects present a plethora of unique issues which must be addressed by an attorney prior to and during construction of the building in order to minimize the potential for future litigation.
A great post from May by my friend, Build2Sustain fellow traveler, and newly minted attorney (way to go Rich), Rich Cartlidge. Click the link above for the whole thing.
