Big Green: pioneers of green building--who are they?

[Nadav Malin]

Boy, this feels like a tricky topic to jump in on--how to choose who  
to mention?

So rather than try anything comprehensive, I'll just mention the  
person who has had the biggest influence by far on my career in green  
building: Gail Lindsey. I blogged about her a while back.


Also, just for the record, I'll correct a few details in the list below:

Paul Hawken (not Hawkins)

Sandy Wiggins was not a founder of USGBC (that would be David  
Gottfried, along with Mike Italiano and Rick Fedrizzi). But he is the  
immediate past chair, and a very enlightened developer.

Also, there is no "USGBC Canada". There is a Canada GBC, which is  
independent of USGBC, and licenses the right to use LEED. Peter Busby  
was instrumental in creating the Canada GBC. Kevin Hydes was chair of  
USGBC before Sandy, even though he's Canadian.

Ed Mazria


What a fun question!
