FXFOWLE Lecture for Sustainability, Urbanism, and Design von Michael Green Architecture, 9 April 2018, Ithaca NY
"Wood is the only major building material we can build with that is grown by the sun. Its strength to weight is phenomenal, and man-made energy is only used to handle it and move it to a site. One cubic meter of wood stores one ton of carbon dioxide. The only way we address anthropogenic climate change is by storing carbon and reducing our emissions. Wood does both."
Green is an architect known for his research, leadership, and advocacy in promoting the use of wood in the built environment.
