what is
stewardship?
We’ve been given the earth
and have been entrusted to care for it. People are responsible for the earth
and the things they’ve been given - money, time, talents, and resources. At
AMDG, green design refers to design and construction practices that promote
stewardship of resources, energy, materials, and the environment. This
approach to design prioritizes human comfort and health, encourages a
connection with God’s creation, and displays an active commitment to an
investment in the future.
