E-Buses to Surge Even Faster Than EVs As Conventional Vehicles Fade According to Bloomberg's 2018 EV Outlook

Is the Commodity Era Over?

I’ve recently begun to wonder if we’re moving away from the world of commodities as we’ve known them for hundreds of years.

Health and Wellness: One of the Cornerstones of Green Buildings

Architects, designers, and contractors are now commonly engaged in new construction, renovation and redesign projects intended to have smallest environmental and climate footprint possible. The factors that contribute to “green buildings” are fairly intuitive: energy efficiency and alternative energy sources, reduced water consumption, utilization of recycled materials, and low-emitting building materials and maintenance products.
