With GreenBuild kicking off today in Denver, and the world environmental meeting in Nairobi, many thousands of people have traveled this week to convene around sustainability issues. All in a most vital cause, although we wince at the natural resource impacts of all that movement. Next week's news, going into the U.S. holiday, should be brimming with reports from these events!
