Co-hosts Ian and Ginger spread the word that utilizing sustainable, green-building principles in construction, design, and urban development is not just morally and environmentally good, but also good business! New methods, materials and technologies to bring down costs and increase productivity are already here, creating a huge opportunity for anyone savvy enough to invest in venturing beyond the current status quo. We at Sustainable Homes of the Future are excited to dive into the details of the green-building "boom" and share our sustainability conversations and interviews with listeners here in Los Angeles and across the globe.
