HOK Green AHA Moment at Greenbuild 2009

One of the exhibitors at this years Greenbuild tried a little different approach and I believe created something very interesting and valuable in the process. HOK decided to listen to the audience instead of marketing their services directly.
The "Green AHA Moment" filmed and recorded is shared on YouTube and is a great collection of how individuals across the industry have come to green building.

Watch, vote and share:

SustainLane is heading up the Local Action Challenge in partnership with Hopenhagen, an international movement to drive action on climate change at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen this December.

Cities across the country – like Miami,FL – have sent in their top-ten lists of actions they’d like residents to take in order to combat climate change and otherwise care for the planet right in their own communities.

Residents who take their cities’ challenge, complete tasks on the list and upload photos of themselves doing so. They are then entered into weekly drawings to win prizes donated by green business sponsors.

Here’s how to play:

2. Choose your city.
3. Choose a challenge.
4. Take a photo of yourself in action.
