ABOUT THE EVENT:
Mastermind of the 2030 Challenge, Ed Mazria kicks off Living Future 2007 - the Cascadia Region Green Building Council's and the AIA Seattle Committee on the Environment's joint regional conference from April 25-27. Learn more about Mazria's plan to combat global warming through more stringent green building and energy efficiency requirements, and how, as Mazria sees it: "The task we face is daunting.
