In 2011, Stanton helped launch the Lifecycle Building Center of Greater Atlanta (LBC), a non-profit focused on developing a triple-bottom-line economy around building materials salvage and reuse. During his tenure as Chair-elect and Chair (2012-2016), the organization diverted 1.7M pounds of construction materials from the waste stream, donated materials to 70 not-for-profits, and grew into an organization that covered 70% of its operational expenses through salvaged material sales.

US Green Building Council recognized the newest class of LEED Fellows on the main stage at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in San Diego on September 23, 2021.
