Our housing stock contributes significantly to the changing climate, with residential buildings accounting for 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. US housing is not only unhealthy for the planet, it is putting the physical and financial health of residents at risk. Our housing system means that a renter working 40 hours a week and earning minimum wage cannot afford a two-bedroom apartment in any US county. In Gray to Green Communities, green affordable housing expert Dana Bourland argues that we need to move away from a gray housing model to a green model, which considers the health and well-being of residents, their communities, and the planet. She demonstrates that we do not have to choose between protecting our planet and providing housing affordable to all. Bourland draws from her experience leading the Green Communities Program at Enterprise Community Partners, a national community development intermediary. Her work resulted in the first standard for green affordable housing which was designed to deliver measurable health, economic, and environmental benefits." -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sustainable living $z United States. 650 0 $a Housing $x Environmental aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Sustainable development $z United States. 650 0 $a Environmental responsibility $z United States. 941 $a 1 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20211104010427.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=801492383D3411EC9C97041D53ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
