Green Buildings Arent Enough

Seattles 2008 Community GHG Inventory

An endless number of green buildings doesn't make a sustainablecity. To make our buildings green five-star or LEED-Gold is fine, bu

not enough.

We have to get the cities to change their ways. If you pay

attention to the smaller scale, inviting people to walk and bike

you get a more lively and livable city, a safer city, a more

sustainable city. It's a much healthier lifestyle to have peopleuse their muscles in their day-to-day life. There's so much to

be gained with making people-oriented cities.

So what are we waiting for?-Jan Gelh
