As an Architect in study, I get really pissed when people try to use the Green Movement for their own gain. No matter what the situation, be it a school building, or new development, it always has the words:

GREEN, ENVIRONMENTAL, BIODIVERSITY

But, in actually, the green movement isn't about new products and new places or things to build, its about building smarter. With the resources at hand, and thinking of new ways to do the same things we already know how to. And the fact is that it costs just as much to build to LEED Silver Standards as it does to build conventionally. So why aren't we? Because nobody wants to think.....that's all it takes. The American people have gotten to the point when they have stopped thinking all the way. They get to good ideas and stay there.

Oh and btw, sorry for this ramble and fuck bailouts......
