While I admire the recycling of tires and green roofs, there ought to be big points given out to "green" locations, ie. locations that tend to have the least amount of green such as NYC. It was argued in the Nation or The Atlantic monthly that NYC is the greenest place in the US and I couldn't agree more.

As for glass buildings, not arguing the aesthetics, but from a green point of view, the fact that so many of them seem to strive for the Leed ratings befudles me. Why create problems that are so easily dealt with in a different choice of clading? It just shows how little so many of these avant guard "green" architects really understand about green architecture. Can one get low-e bricks?
