Rethinking the Future
We’re launching a new series of classes, Rethinking the Future, exploring how we can live more efficiently and sustainably for the good of all.
Our world is undergoing great change and upheaval. But there is opportunity in the chaos. A chance for us to reimagine our future; a future worth building.
Whatever future we build, we’ll need to rethink our homes and communities. Now is the perfect time for builders, civic leaders and citizens to start having deeper, more impactful conversations. How will we deal with the housing and energy challenges we face today, as individuals and collectively? I believe answering this question is a critical next step in redefining our future. And I believe the groundswell is already happening.
And the journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. So, we’ll start by taking stock of where we are, and identify what each of us can do today to live more sustainably.
The first four events in the series are described below.
