Building With a Positive Footprint asks an important question: Is the world better off with your building? The answer is almost certainly 'no'.
Almost every building pollutes the air, water, soil and damages biodiversity. What if we turned that around and focused on making a positive contribution? If buildings purify the air, water and soil, create biodiversity and generate more energy than we use? What Unilever's Paul Polman describes for companies in the book Net Positive, Vincent van der Meulen here describes for the construction industry.
The book offers an accessible explanation on how you can build in a radically sustainable way and declares why this is not yet happening. It provides a new method with practical leads, tools and insights for professionals to get started.
