In a ceremony celebrating the 21st anniversary of a small‑business awards event, My Green Building is announced as the Think Green Business of the Year. The company’s representative (Speaker A) delivers an acceptance speech that outlines how the firm’s early work involved educating the public about what “green” means, and how today they demonstrate that green building equates to higher construction performance, healthier homes, and sustainable, high‑quality living. He thanks the community, his team, and especially his business partner Grant Castello, crediting Castello with the company’s success. He notes that the presence of a green‑building category on the stage signals the mainstream acceptance of sustainable construction, and emphasizes that green building is about everyday participation rather than perfect adherence to standards.

Growing in this economy as a green builder, we found ourselves in the beginning educating people on what the definition of green was. And now what we're doing is really showing people what green is. And green for us is just higher levels of performance in construction, healthier homes, higher quality of life. Fortified, and very sustainably built.
We had wonderful contestants this year, and the winner is, for the Think Green Business of the Year for the 21st anniversary, is My Green Building.
Yeah, thank you. I just want to say thank you so much to my community. You guys are amazing. And to this incredible team of people we have at the table over there, especially my business partner, Grant Castello, who without, you know, Grant, I'd be— I'd probably be selling dumpsters still somewhere. And the fact that the green is a category on this stage is, to me, indicative of the fact that it's become such a mainstream thing. So I think it's, you know, to us, green is, as I said, you know, it's just higher performance. And, you know, it's part of our everyday life. The fact that our clients are having this dialogue with us about the choices that they can make in their home, to me, that's You know, it doesn't get any better than that. There's no perfection in green. It's all about just participation. So anyway, thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
