Ben Kingsley to Host New Series OUTLOOK, Highlighting Importance of Building Green

Our homes, our offices - these buildings are designed to protect us from the outside elements and yet, in many cases the buildings actually negatively affect our health and the health of our planet. The harm is not only environmental and social but can also be seen economically. As awareness of these issues continues to grow, new technologies are being implemented to lessen our carbon footprint. One such practice is Green Building or Sustainable Building.

Green Building is a process of construction using resource efficient, healthier and environmentally responsible materials and practice. The benefits of building green are vast. Environmentally, green building improves air and water quality and conserves our natural resources. Socially, green building not only has aesthetic advantages, it also positively affects our health and quality of life. Economically, the process of green building reduces operating costs and increases water and energy savings, while simultaneously increasing property value.

Host Ben Kingsley and the "Outlook" series will highlight industry professionals and consumers alike who provide the Green Building materials and utilize the Green Building strategies in their homes and/or businesses.
