BuildingGreen will continue to be operated as an independent, ad-free publication. Wexley Media Group partners Nelina Loiselle and Vincent Bataoel join BuildingGreen as Publishers.

"Greenlash" demonstrates the importance of strategic coordination among /all/ green building professionals and organizations -- out of a collective concern for our future, in the spirit of mutual respect, under a common interest in defending the environment, and through the recognition that we are stronger together. There is plenty to divide us, better not to be divided against each other. https://lnkd.in/ekf-4Q_n
