Rick. The author was CEO and Founding Chairman of the U.S. Green Building Council. In November 2016 global environmental business leader Rick Fedrizzi became chairman and CEO of the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), a public benefit corporation advancing buildings that put human health and wellness at the center of their design and operation. IWBI administers the WELL Building Standard, an evidence-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring the performance of building features that impact health and well-being. Rick is also founding chair of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and former CEO of both USGBC and of Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), nonprofit organizations that promote high-performing buildings and communities. During his tenure, LEED became the world's most widely used green building rating system. Rick co-founded USGBC while serving as the environmental marketing officer at UTC's Carrier Corporation, where he served for more than 25 years. A native of Syracuse, N.Y., with an MBA from Syracuse U., he serves on numerous boards and advisory councils, including the Center for Health and the Global Environment at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; View, Inc., Energy Focus, and Global Green. His book Greenthink: How Profit Can Save the Planet won a prestigious EPPY award for Public Affairs in 2015. Rick Fedrizzi is the most important environmentalist you've never heard of?and Greenthink is his manifesto. A former Fortune 50 manufacturing executive, Fedrizzi became a leader of the modern environmental movement when he played an instrumental role in creating the most important and far-reaching sustainability movement of our time: the green building movement. Today, Fedrizzi's work and ideas are transforming the real estate industry, one of the largest sectors of the global economy, and one of the largest contributors to climate change. As a co-founder of the U.S. Green Building Council, Fedrizzi oversaw the creation of LEED?Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design?which has certified more than four billion square feet of sustainable real estate worldwide. According to Paul Hawken, a legendary environmentalist, "USGBC may have had a greater impact than any other single organization in the world on materials saved, toxins eliminated, greenhouse gases avoided, and human health enhanced." But that's only half the story: the green building industry has also sparked billions of dollars of economic impact and created millions of jobs. This stunning revelation?that sustainability is profitable?is at the heart of Fedrizzi's call to action in Greenthink. For decades, environmentalists and the private sector have been at odds. Activists have decried the impact of industry on the environment. Business leaders, meanwhile, resent environmentalists for "job-killing regulations." But in Greenthink, Fedrizzi turns conventional wisdom on its head by showing how profit can save the planet, and how sustainability is the biggest business opportunity of the 21st century. With the urgency of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, the illuminating stories of Tom Friedman's The Lexus and the Olive Tree, and the insight of Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point, Fedrizzi calls the reader's attention to hidden yet fundamental truths about our environment, our society, and our economy. His message is as controversial as it is clear: leverage the profit motive to save the world?and its humans?from environmental catastrophe. With a heartfelt foreword by actor and activist Leonardo DiCaprio, Greenthink is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our environment, or the future of our economy. Because, in Fedrizzi's words, "they will share the same fate.". First Printing [Stated]. Presumed first printing.…
