Microbiome meets biophilia + design. @ericcoreyfreed asks "what if the cancer facility could become part of treatment?" Aligning architectural elements to biology and sensory experience. Love it. @anfarch
CA is considering requiring companies to publicly disclose their carbon emissions. Already passed Assembly & headed for Senate. This is similar to the federal proposal by SEC that has been dragging for years.
It's crunch time for California climate bills

“I used to think that the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that thirty years of good science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a cultural and spiritual transformation. And we scientists don’t know how to do that.” ~ Gus Speth
