Amer is, among many things, a relentless optimist. He believes we are at the beginning of a big shift to a cleaner, more sustainable, world where companies take responsibility and consumers demand change. Where projects, buildings, and cities are designed to be better for people and the environment. It's a world I would like to live in so I sure hope he's right. “I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that, then I realized I was somebody!” Lily Tomlin
