Why decarbonization is critical: Jason F. McLennan on CNN

Our Chief Sustainability Officer, Jason F. McLennan, appears in CNN’s “Inventing Tomorrow” series, where he discusses the need to decarbonize our buildings. Jason was the top sustainability strategist for Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington—the world’s first net-zero carbon arena, and a true game changer in the Sports, Entertainment, and Recreation sector.

“Buildings of the future need to be completely decarbonized. They need to use no more fossil fuels,” Jason says in the episode. “For over the last century our built environment, our homes, offices, (and) our arenas have been one of the major causes of climate change and environmental degradation. So in the future, we need to fundamentally change that.”
