Anjanette Green on being there and making change
Thursday, 18 December, 2025
Anjanette Green has more than two decades of architecture, design, and material research experience. She launched A Greener Space in 2016, the same year she ventured into the Peruvian Amazon to lead a team in a zero waste project. An advocate for alternative building solutions, she has travelled the world promoting research for bio-based materials. Address-independent, Anjanette can be found in remote areas of the world building with bio-based materials and learning from local communities.We talked about all the things: bio-based materials … indoor air quality … the importance of certifications … the big moves forward … and the big gaps that remain. When we talked about might guide others and Anjanette mused about how we learn about our industry and how we show up in our movement: “Nothing can replace the in-real-life experience,” she said. “And for me, that is incredibly important to show support, especially for the manufacturers that I want to prop up, but also for the job sites that need a helping hand. I'm the one who shows up with a backpack to a job site and says, “Where’s the hammer? Where is the earthbag?” I think that that’s the best way that a person can learn, and then I can be enough of an authority on a subject that I can then share that with other people.”
