Nevermind that a structure is built to LEED standards, it isn't Certified until that $22k cheque clears. Don't you also care about the carbon emissions of the trucks used to deliver thouse plaques or stickers (and the colons of the workmen) in the process of tacking the afformentioned plaque of green-friendly stickers to be slapped up for the afformentioned sum? Or the heat-blooms generated by Andrea McGary's blind love of all thinfs 'spending related' on these items, as if the lack of said plaque will cause VW to seace productiona and smelt the current structures appearing about the former VAAP landscape? Yes, LEED is carving out a place for the green market in the global economy all right. *Next weekm LEED will begin offering Bridges for sale in Brooklyn, and deals for Swampland in Florida are nearly complete. Horeshit is the NEW 'Gold', it would seem!
