Why Green Tech is good for Business and the Environment
Science and technology are also good for business. The Indian Creek Nature Center (ICNC) is Iowa’s only private nonprofit nature center. The organization’s headquarters and new Amazing Space “living building” is an energy NetZero facility nestled in a grove of oak trees on the edge of a sloping prairie dotted with both wildflowers and solar panels. The new building is a 12,000-square-foot environmental education center, Myers explained, and is “under certification by the International Living Future Institute to become a Living Building. This certification is far beyond LEED standards and focuses on truly sustainable practices that restore, not degrade the environment.”
