Your Vote: New York City’s Greenest Buildings
by Patrice Frey on July 10th, 2009Check out the Huffington Post’s entertaining – but might I add somewhat discouraging – slideshow of New York’s greenest buildings. Note that of the ten buildings, only one existing structure – the Empire State Building — is offered as an example. This reinforces what we’ve understood for awhile now. There is the widespread perception that to be truly green, a building has to be new.
You can vote for the greenest building in NYC. Right now the Empire State Building is No. 8… let’s go for No. 1.
