What is World Green Building Week? It’s the biggest and best opportunity each year for us to shine the spotlight on our global movement and our collective mission – to create sustainable built environments.

By working together in the same week all over the world, our message is louder, demonstrates global diversity in activities and creates excitement as people feel part of our growing global community. - See more at: http://www.worldgbc.org/activities/wgbweek/#sthash.YW6dciQh.dpuf
