There are over 80,000 unregulated chemicals in the building products we surround ourselves with every day. In addition, we spend 90% of our time in buildings. The ingredients in our building products are as important as the ingredients in the food we put in our bodies but there is a lot of greenwashing, confusing claims and product certifications out there. Also, everything that goes into a building or space must, at some point, come out. Where does it go? What happens to these many building materials at the end of their useful life impacts the health of our planet as well as people. Taking a cradle to cradle mentality is key to ensuring both healthy people and healthy planet. Join WELLap & WELL Faculty, Lia Nielsen, Principle of SImply Sustainable for a deep dive into what makes materials healthy and waste recycling guru Michael Buono, President of ESMG for a look at thinking about 'waste' as a resource instead of a problem with an eye to achieving net zero waste. This event will be before the Earth Day After Party 3:30-5pm and provide 1.5 CEUs that you can self report for AIA, LEED, WELL, ASID, etc. This will be offered online and in person with registration required.
