John Lynn is an expert on the 2030 initiative. The 2030 initiative is something that Ed Mazria came up with. The goal of the 2030 initiative is for there to be zero percentages of carbon emissions in the use of buildings by the year 2030. The steps are set up in this way the goal would be to cut carbon emissions up to fifty percent immediately, sixty percent by the year 2010, seventy by the year 2015, eighty percent by the year 2020, and up to ninety percent by 2025. Basically carbon emissions show how much we are using the worlds resources. I think this is a really important issue right now it is something that every one is talking about like John said "it's in the air it's everywhere". We have to look at life from all perspectives (What if we were fish). One way that John says we can stop things from getting worse its by restoring old buildings and making them into LEED certified buildings. He challenged us to ask ourselves where will this building be or how will it be working in one hundred and thirty years from now. I think these goals could be reached with the way things are moving today.
