Hi folks! I had a blast at the Show + Tell Tuesday night of Greenbuild. Thanks to Payette for hosting, and to Arrowstreet for joining Payette and BuildingGreen as sponsors. What a great way to get a "tasting-menu" Greenbuild experience!

I also caught a couple of great sessions on Friday morning. Polling others, it seems that the sessions were of mixed quality--some really good ones, some not so good. There was a lot of chatter about product databases, biophilia, and resilience. And some fun dancing!

Were you there? If so, what were your highlights?

Thanks to BuildingGreen for organizing the Show+Tell. It is always a highlight of Greenbuild week. I was happy to see many more people interested in and discussing material content (transparency and optimization) than in past Greenbuilds. But alas was disheartened by the number of exhibitors that had no clue when I asked if their products had an EPD, HPD, or emissions testing. They didn't know what those things were or if they had them. Hopefully by asking those questions we're assisting with market transformation. How can we make it transform faster?

Speaking of highlights... did anyone attend "selling sustainability: 5 principles of persuasion"? I would love to hear what happened to "Peg the oil woman"...
