Can historic preservation also be “green”?
In many ways historic preservation has always been a “green” movement. Preserving a historic building is the ultimate in sustainability as it saves an enormous amount of energy and precious resources that are otherwise lost through demolition or neglect. The Architectural Heritage Center and the Bosco Milligan Foundation support the notion that we cannot build our way out of our environmental problems. By re-using what we already have we will help save not only physical structures, we will lessen the impact on our environment, while helping to sustain our economy and our culture for future generations to enjoy.
