Greenbuild Conference and Expo makes its Canadian debut this week with Thomas Friedman, Maroon 5 and (for some reason) Kim Campbell

The International Greenbuild Conference and Expo is Toronto from October 4 to 7, marking the Canadian debut of the world’s largest conference dedicated to green building. The three-day fête includes educational sessions, a film festival, a job fair and tours of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)–certified projects in the city (also, networking—lots of it). The official opening will kick off at the Air Canada Centre with keynote speakers Thomas Friedman, the New York Times columnist, Cokie Roberts of ABC News, Dr. Paul Farmer of Harvard University and former prime minister Kim Campbell (we smell a sitcom!), followed by a Maroon 5 concert. Heck, if Adam Levine isn’t reason enough to start thinking green, we’re not sure what is. More info at the Greenbuild website »
