Research indicates that it is six times more costly to generate a new customer than it is to maintain an existing one. Poor customer service and guest relations are areas that plague many organizations and are often treated lightly.

 Ecological, Autonomous, Sustainable Environments or, Green is More Than a Color
This powerful and informative session will present the challenges, the solutions, and the opportunities to some of the critical ingredients in designing, building, and effectively residing in our future living environments.

With a voracious appetite for open space and low-rise, low-density development, the renowned and now notorious suburb has turned out to be one of mankind's more harmful intrusions on the environment. The ballooning size of the typical new suburban home and the infinite replication of lawns, garages, septic tanks, heating systems, laundry rooms, and other amenities for each household have made the suburb a convenient metaphor for wastefulness in our modern society.

"If not now, when? If not you, who?" Robert F. Kennedy was so right in this statement back in the 1960s. The time is long overdue to replace fashion with refinement and luxury with elegance. It is time to turn inward and ask the simple question, "How can we expect to continue the misuse and abuse of our life-giving natural environment on what Buckminster Fuller referred to as Spaceship Earth?" We are the only generation in the history of our planet who will leave the world in worse condition that we when entered it.

Environmentally responsible architecture is only now surfacing in the mainstream as a glimmer of hope to the omnivorous, opulent, and energy-consuming MacMansion designs of the 1980s to the present. Careful consideration to resource conservation, land ethic, and a poetic understanding of space are all elements that are now encouragingly being embraced.
