I attended the Conference as well – took a junky Miami University van filled with 9 students from Ohio. Flight might have been both safer and possibly more sustainable, but much more expensive (and I would have never experienced the attack of the tumbleweeds in Kansas). I thought that there was a lot of hypocrisy as well, or at least some private agendas that were starting to develop without care to the overall good. But, above all it was a business conference and until we encourage everyone to wear jeans and start composting the meals we eat in the sustainably designed conference centers, there will not be a true revolution.

To your point, PR, you missed the check box not to send paper materials. This was my third year and I was delighted that all correspondence from vendors and the conference was electronic.

I was there, along with 13000 other participants. Truthfully, the majority (myself included) arrived via airplane after receiving months worth of marketing materials in the mail. Tons and tons of printed materials were distributed at the show. To Karl’s point, I think we’re becoming the Unsustainable Sustainability movement.

So, from my office window here in Denver, I just saw one of those “mobile billboards” driving around advertising some sort of green building solution firm. Hypocrisy anyone?
