achieving Green
Star ratings for their
community centres and
libraries, the state governments
certifying healthcare facilities and
the school principals educating a
whole generation of environmentally
literate students are committed
to building communities that
are diverse, fair, inclusive and
sustainable.
Today, we are increasingly talking
the language of social sustainability
– about how our buildings benefit
people. Our next great challenge is
to put a value on the social capital
to be gained from green building.
We will continue to adapt Green
Star so that it remains robust and
relevant. Why? Because everyone
should have the opportunity to
learn in a green school, work in
a green office, or live in a green
home – and because Green Star is
the mechanism to help us create
and define sustainable places for
everyone.
