I had a great time and learned a lot at the Getting to Zero Forum in Oakland, California. This conference takes place every 1.5 years and the next one is coming to New York City. It’s never too early to save the date. https://t.co/LIccnBcWaw

The zero carbon buildings of the future will do more than just not emit carbon. They will be built out of it. https://t.co/s9rYSDbaSO
