The U.S. Green Building Council wants everyone to submit their idea for the next design challenge in the Natural Talent Design Competition. By submitting your idea, you may have the chance to affect your own community. All you have to do is create a simple submission and send it to them! USGBC will be holding a charrette in mid to late March to determine the next design challenge for the competition. It will be using your submissions to drive the discussion, so make sure your idea is at the table! The best submission will have the opportunity to participate in the charrette along side green building and community development visionaries. ObjectiveChoose a subject that represents a need. This can be a person, place or other item within your community that would greatly benefit from a sustainable building solution. The more powerful the need the better, as USGBC is looking for ideas on how a green building can transform a community.
