“Sustainability is not a buzz-word anymore; it’s a matter of “survival of the fittest.”Any meaningful achievement in this area of sustainability will require some significant paradigm shift in our attitude about how we live, how we consume our resources, how we govern ourselves and how we provide for our mobility needs. I think Bill has done an excellent job in exploring these issues.”

-Subrata Basu,AIA, AICP - Miami-Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning

“Whether you call it smart growth or sustainability or green, the point is we should be doing everything possible to reduce our footprint and reduce our dependence on carbon fuels. Bill has been an advocate of smart growth and sustainability before the two terms had even been invented.”

“Many industries and individual sectors of society are searching for their way to tread more lightly on our environment. To achieve the sustainability goals needed for this epoch, thoughts and actions must be coordinated, working in concert to maximize the benefit to our communities. Bill has always had the ability to see the larger picture while encouraging and orchestrating individual initiatives. Bill's knowledge, sensitivity, and thoughtful insights will certainly advance the ideas to achieve sustainable communities.”

Mr. Asti’s efforts to encourage a higher level of individual initiative and private sector involvement [in sustainable community building and design] are commendable and well in line with the President’s task force on Private Sector Initiatives.
