Sustainability: It's the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do, it's the profitable
thing to do
2. No one person has to do it all but if each one of us follow our heart and our own
inclinations we will find the small things that we can do to create a sustainable
future and a healthy environment 
3. Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual
satisfaction
4. Building a world where we meet our own needs without denying future generations
a healthy society is not impossible, as some would assert. The question is where
societies choose to put their creative efforts
5. There is a great need for the introduction of new values in our society, where bigger
is not necessarily better, where slower can be faster, and where less can be more. 
6. We cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around
you. What we do makes a difference, and we have to decide what kind of difference
we want to make
7. Sustainable development is the masterful balance of meeting our own needs without
jeopardizing future generations ability to do the same
8. Now and dedication can be a good thing about going green in itself. When we
become more commited to an environmentally friendly lifestyle we study that
lifestyle, the aspects of the life-style that is effective on our behalf and then we study
new tips that make the lifestyle much better to create. Other merits of going green
can be found especially zones of green lifestyles
9. Green buildings are a hallmark of economically sound business decisions, thoughtful
environmental decisions, and smart human impact decisions
10. In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities
and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives
11. Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us
must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for
living things around us, especially each other
12. Change is upon us. We can choose to see it as frightening and incapacitating, or we
can embrace the opportunities and move forward with hope towards a more
sustainable world
13. Green is a process, not a status. We need to think of 'green' as a verb, not an
adjective
14. You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a
new model that makes the existing model obsolete
15. Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and
the planet
16. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts
we make the world
17. Clearly, we need to find ways to use less energy rather than just shifting from
producing more using a different industrial process. There are some innovators
doing that, including in the green building industry. But we have a long way to go.
And the job starts with us in our every day lives
18. In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will
solve their problems. Every individual has a responsibility to help guide our global
family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient; we must become
actively engaged
