It is amazing to me how everybody now knows about #EPDs and is interested in learning as much as they can! The intent, passion, urgency, and generous sharing of knowledge made the Advancing Construction Decarbonization a pretty unique experience. #advancingconstructiondecarbonization https://lnkd.in/e-nHNdTc TransparencyCatalog.com
