Regenerative Real Estate with Adam Sgrenci

Regenerative Real Estate Podcast
Written By Neal Collins (he/him)

The construction industry does not have a sterling reputation when it comes to sustainability. In fact, some studies show that the construction sector contributes to 23% of air pollution, 50% of climate change, 40% of drinking water pollution, and 50% of landfill waste.

There is an organization, however, that is pushing the industry forward to meet pressing 21st century challenges by adopting regenerative practices into their work. The Center for Infrastructure and Society (CIS) brings together construction industry resources to ensure a regenerative future for our planet.

In Episode 28 of The Regenerative Real Estate Podcast, the Executive Director of CIS, Adam Sgrenci, came onto the show and talk about his mission to help educate, inspire, and develop the capacity of the industry and the tradespeople in it.
