DESCRIPTION:Join us at the U.S. Green Building Council’s Greenbuild Interna
 tional Conference and Expo in Boston November 19-21\, 2008. Boston is the 
 historic cradle of the American Revolution and home to innovations that ha
 ve far-reaching impact. It is the perfect place to celebrate Greenbuild 20
 08’s theme of “Revolutionary Green: Innovations for Global Sustainability.
 ”\n\nBuildings play a critical role in protecting and improving our enviro
 nment and the health of the people who occupy them. USGBC’s Greenbuild Con
 ference and Expo provides an unparalleled opportunity to connect with othe
 r green building peers\, industry experts\, and influential leaders as the
 y share innovations in the green building movement.\nBoston\n\nKnown as "A
 merica's Walking City" Boston offers its visitors the opportunity to enjoy
  a unique 'green getaway' car-free! Boston has pedestrian-friendly streets
  and expansive riverfront parks. A walking tour from charming Beacon Hill 
 to Boston's downtown waterfront Harborwalk is a highlight of Boston's mobi
 lity and diversity. Also\, be sure to visit Boston's most popular visitor 
 attraction\, the Freedom Trail. This trail brings tourists to Boston's mos
 t historic sites as well as popular cultural districts.\n\nBoston is also 
 home to an easy-to-navigate public transit system. Its four color-coded Tr
 olley lines connect numerous hotels\, attractions\, shops\, Boston neighbo
 rhoods\, and\, of course\, convention centers. With the recent opening of 
 a new transit line\, Logan International Airport is connected as well!\n\n
 Boston & Cambridge hotels\, restaurants\, attractions\, and tours are enga
 ged in a widespread 'greening' initiative. \n\nAt our Greenbuild conferenc
 es we strive to leave a legacy of improved environmental practices in each
  of our host cities. As proof of our committment to this legacy\, Greenbui
 ld is a two-time recipient of the IMEX Environmental Meeting Award. More t
 han 100% of the emissions from attendee travel and conference center use a
 re offset via Cleaner and Greener certification\, and close collaboration 
 with Meeting Strategies Worldwide on green strategies and innovations. Lea
 rn more\, in detail\, about the practices we implement at our Greenbuild c
 onferences to further our legacy of green.

 ference Center\n\nBill Cullina - Keynote Speaker\nSugar\, Sex\, and Poison
 : Shocking Plant Secrets Caught on Camera\n\nAs we all know\, plants are a
 t the base of both the human and non-human food\nchain. Everything eats th
 em directly or indirectly\, which may or may not be a\ngood thing as far a
 s plants are concerned. Because they do not move around\, it\nis easy to f
 orget that plants are not helpless. They have evolved an incredible\narsen
 al of chemicals\, camouflage\, spines\, hairs\, and waxes to discourage\nh
 erbivores. On the other hand\, they spend a huge amount of their energy on
 \npollen\, nectar\, edible fruits\, and sugary root exudates designed to a
 ttract and\nnourish animals\, insects\, fungi and bacteria so they can per
 form services such\nas pollination\, seed dispersal\, defense\, and nutrie
 nt acquisition. It is a\ncarefully balanced natural economy and community 
 based on the products of\nphotosynthesis that is amazing in its complexity
  and efficiency. Strengthening\nthis natural economy through sound horticu
 ltural and agricultural practices is\nin essence what the organic movement
  is all about. In this talk\, Bill Cullina\nwill show how this world of po
 llen\, poisons\, pigments\, pheromones\, sugars and\nsex translates to sou
 nd organic practices we all can benefit from.\n\nAdditional Presentations\
