[LBC Philly @lbcphillycollab]

Equity in green building means connecting to community through large windows, enough natural light for occupants to safely navigate spaces, and healthy occupants who don't need to go to the ER because their indoor environment is no longer poisoning them. #sustainabilitysymposium

[Living Future @Living_Future]

@likeshisbeer This is for LBC collaborative members. We limited the group because we are testing whether this format works for a group. If it goes well we may be offering the Ambassador training again.

[LBC Philly @lbcphillycollab]

Packed house at Re:Vision to train up new Living Future Ambassadors!

Decent housing is a human right and forms the basis for stable education for children, stable base for employment, and an achor for communities.
