Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Alice Ferguson Foundation's "Living Building" in Accokeek, Md.
For many organizations, “going green” can mean little changes — recycling, paperless transactions — to structure-wide improvements like LEED certification. But only a handful of structures in the U.S. are certified “Living Buildings” — those that meet the strictest eco-friendly building standards in the world. Now, after a decade-long construction process, a new education center in Prince George’s County qualifies as a “Living Building.” Kojo learns how this net-zero energy, carbon-neutral structure came to life, and finds out how the District’s own plans for supergreen affordable homes and sustainable buildings could impact residents and the environment.
