Small firms have the potential for having a large impact on our profession’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality. Ironic, isn’t it? Owners of small practices might feel like their contributions are inconsequential in the overall scheme of things. However, small firms make up 77% of the architectural practices in the US. If every small architectural practice signed on to the AIA 2030 Commitment, we would have a greater chance of truly achieving integration of sustainability principles into every project.Two small firms in Texas have embraced the 2030 Commitment and successfully accomplished projects that are making a difference. This article will describe the journey of English + Architects and DSGN since signing the commitment.It is hoped that this article, along with the webinar on AIAU titled "Making the 2030 Commitment Work for Your Small Firm" will inspire small firms to get onboard with making a large impact towards sustainability.Eva Read-Warden, AIAAIA Small Firms Exchange Texas Representative
