8:30 - 9:30 am Plenary Kick-off session in Ballroom East	Sarah Susanka, Architect, Cultural visionary and Bestselling author of "The Not So Big House" and "The Not So Big Life" Topic: Not So Big: The First Step in Sustainability for Home, Community and Life Moderator: Robert Meyer At no time in recent history have so many been interested in building better rather than bigger. The economic crisis has awoken in people the need for more energy efficient and sustainable structures to live in. Since her first book, The Not So Big House, came out in 1998, Sarah Susanka has been helping readers understand how they can make their own homes sustainable through right-sizing and sustainable construction practices. Now she extends that message beyond the house to how we create community and how we inhabit our lives. Not So Big may be about making our homes and our lives a bit smaller, but it is in fact a very big idea - one that's perfectly tailored to today's challenging conditions.
