The Climate Strike on Friday was incredibly powerful. Now we all have to get to work! We need solutions and we need them today. Thankfully there are a number of fantastic educational summits, conferences, learning sessions and more coming up in the next week and month that will help you to learn how.

One truly incredibly opportunity is the upcoming Fine Home Building Summit that has been organized by Fine Homebuilding magazine, Green Building Advisor, and Keep Craft Alive. We could write an entire article about how each of these publications and groups have and continue to shape the built environment around us (and we probably will), but for now we will focus on the powerhouse lineup of architects, builders, engineers, and building scientist who will be speaking at the event.

If you are not already following them — you should be! But there is nothing like being together, hearing them live, talking , and the fact that this summit does that is an incredible opportunity.
