Dear Ai Community,

Below is the text of the next Sustainovation In-depth dialogue. This event 
will be held at the Green Building Exchange in Redwood City, CA. This should be 
a really interesting event. I have attached the flyer as a PDF. We want--if at

Hope to see you there!

Green Dragon Film

CHINA: A Dragon Turning Green

An Extraordinary New Documentary about China’s Leap into Green Building…

Meet the Visionary Filmmakers, See the Film, Join Us for Discussion

Tuesday 13 May 2008 at the Green Building Exchange

6:30pm - 7:00pm: Networking with Tea & Dessert
7:00pm - 8:00pm: Intro & Film Presentation
8:00pm - 9:00pm: Group Dialogue

We have a rare opportunity to view this revealing new documentary and meet 
the creative group behind it. Chinese government officials and industry 
professionals share the extraordinary pace of change within China’s green building 
industry. “China has done something that took 30 years to achieve in the US – 
from having virtually no green building eight years ago, they now have national 
codes in place, they’re developing a national certification system and they 
have over 4 million
square meters of internationally-certified building space already built,” 
says Rob Watson, cofounder of U.S. Green Building Council.

Join us to discuss how China’s green building programs and
policies affect what we do here.

Caroline Harrison, Creative Director/Co-producer/Editor:
“This film provides a rare window into the story of the biggest building boom 
in
human history. It has been an unforgettable experience and an honor to have
had the opportunity to make this film.”

Max Perelman, Research Director/Co-producer:
“Before making this film I had no idea of what an amazing journey I was
embarking on. I had been told that over half the world’s construction takes 
place
in this one country, but only when you see it do you believe it.

”River Yun Lu, Localization Director:
“I am Chinese. I know China intimately. Yet only through making this film did 
my
eyes open to the need for sustainable construction. As a result of making 
this film,
my life has changed.
