An explosion in green building is underway, with cleverly engineered libraries, office buildings, even public housing projects popping up across the Bay Area, and championed as much by landlords trying to cut energy and water costs as by environmental groups.

Mmm so they finally decided to finish building the Museum in San Fransico? About time, Before they tore it down, I used to love going there like...a lot when I was a kid.

The ELITISTS want to make sure we are deep in the mire being blamed for everything so that they can rake us over the coals again and impose their one world goverment. We aren't falling for it anymore.

More bullschite brought to you by the Globalist Carbon Tax Fraud. To think that little "we" can have an effect on the entire planet by blowing our noses in "green" napkins is asinine. Between the planet itself, THE SUN and the assholes that are Irradiating it with Depleted Uranium Projectiles spells only one thing and that is: "The difference between what IS going on and what we are BEING TOLD is going on is enormous."

Buildings are responsible for roughly 30% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. This is changing, though, through the sustainability movement. Sustainability means meeting our own needs today without compromising the capacity for future generations to meet their's. Green architecture is poised to make the most significant contributions to energy reduction and efficiency. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is the rating system used to gauge efficiency.

p.s. I have nothing against white people! I am white, but I am against exclusion from decisions by everybody other than middle-aged white people, and alot of us frankly are excluding ourselves, so we cant complain if we dont get involved!

white people that are concerned more about aesthetics than anything else! That is an over-simplification, but if we start showing up and getting like minded friends and start having reasonable discussions we can make differences in our respective cities or towns. Recommended book: "Getting to Yes" by Fisher and Ury

I share those sentiments, but what I've been realizing lately is that those millions of people don't do anything anyway, just think of them as irrelevant to the equation.Fro those of us who care, we need to stop being cynical and start getting involved in LOCAL government. Seriously , just start showing up to zoning or planning board meeting in your area and be patient and start learning and working with people. You will realize as I did that most decisions of these sort are made by middle-aged

it should be a part of building codes..but using high expensive technology to make uer structure sustainable is not a good approch...ecological design approch is also essential..
