Path to Zero Carbon pdfs/word docs

Hi all - I've heard from a few of you that you are interested in doing a book club or other internal education based on the Path to Zero Carbon. If you would like the word docs or pdfs of each of the 16 posts, let me konw and I'll send them to you.

I'd also like to know of those who are using it how it's going and what you're finding useful. And, as always, you can send me any feedback because the series can be changed very easily online to include updated or better links and studies, or correct anything that's incorrect or not worded correctly. kanderson@lmnarchitects.com

Hi Kjell:  You and your crew did such a fantastic job on this series, I really enjoyed the content. The thought of reading them and disussing "book club" style hadn't occurred to me - great idea. If a group forms and is discussing over Zoom, I'd be intersted in hopping in. John

Book club? I've heard interest from some of you for being part of a Path to Zero Carbon book club with others outside your organization. Sign up here and then feel free to self-organize! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VKLamNCjk7bijdUHPprvDO6rMN8fAAj1TtcLutgwbKk/edit?usp=sharing So far I've send the pdfs/docs to 18 firms. -Kjell

Unrelated, and I can't remember who asked me about it, but at some point we had a Goodreads book group for sharing book recommendations. This started during Winter 2019, but it did die out: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/873351-green-gurus-goodreads-group. I didn't make it, so I'm not sure how to edit it or anything like that, but it was a cool idea at the time.

Hi Kjell, I would like pdfs of the Path to Carbon Zero Series.  I've been sharing bits and pieces and finding the content valuable.  Thank you.

I would appreciate the PDFs... and if a book club forms, I'd be interested in that, too!

I would also appreciate PDFs - and would join the Good Reads book club!  I have finally been tracking them here is a sample: Build Beyond ZeroNew Ideas for Carbon-Smart ArchitectureBruce King and Chris Magwood The New Carbon ArchitectureBuilding to Cool the ClimateBruce King  Biomimicry in ArchitectureWhen searching for genuinely sustainable building design and technology - designs that go beyond conventional sustainability to be truly restorative - we often find that nature got there first.
