"We're recycling Coke cans; we're recycling beer bottles. Why are we tearing viable buildings down in the name of progress?" That's @Elefante_Carl in my article about construction, carbon and conservation, inspired by @PritzkerPrize 2021/@savingplaces. https://t.co/jx9neTm1NS

Our Chief Preservation Officer, Katherine Malone-France, starting off Day 1 of #PastForward21,
"Reusing old buildings IS climate action."

[Historic Environment Scotland @HistEnvScot]

Buildings are responsible for ~40% of global energy-related carbon emissions. 🏘️

Construction accounts for 50% of all extracted materials, accelerating #ClimateChange. ⛏️

Retrofit is essential for #ClimateAction – after all, the greenest building is the one already built. 🍃

[Randolph College @randolphcollege]

Thompson M. Mayes' "practical, generous, and profoundly humanistic approach to historic preservation will strike a chord with the Randolph and Lynchburg communities," says classics professor Susan Stevens, "and anyone who loves an old place."
