While applauding the progress that has been made by the green-building movement in the past 20 years, the authors of the Challenge say it has not been enough. In an April 2010 description of the program, they argue that “incremental change is no longer a viable option.” Given the enormity of the task that still lies ahead, they maintain that we need “to completely reshape humanity’s relationship with nature and realign our ecological footprint to be within the planet’s carrying capacity.”
I hope I'm doing this correctly. I've uploaded two versions: (1) slow, and (2) regular paced. I hope this helps.
