This weeks video is from the PBS series e². The series explores attainable solutions to pressing environmental and social challenges, and its stories are culled from a variety of fields including design, energy, transport, water, food and urban development.
The video that I have selected for this week features Ed Mazria and the Architecture 2030 challenge. The challenge is to the global architecture and building community to design and construction buildings that are carbon neutral by the year 2030. To learn more, watch the video and visit the Architecture 2030 website (architecture2030.org).
