Peter Pinchot of Whole Forests will present "Climate Smart Forests and Green Construction: Designing with Biogenic Carbon to Achieve Climate Positive Structures"

This presentation is about a new approach to forest product consumption that perpetuates rainforest conservation.  Global forests are both sources of emissions and can promote carbon capture and storage. Mr. Pinchot will introduce the range of available biogenic building materials from agriculture and forestry with a special focus on tropical forests.
