Allow me to be crunchy for a sec

Gas $111 a barrel.
Solution? Build more hybrid cars?
While this is nice and would benefit...its not the solution. What people fail to realize is that it is our horribly inefficient buildings that are sucking energy and polluting way more than the accumulating cars on the street.

I was flipping through the channels the other night and stopped at the Broomfield City Council discussing the new Hyatt Summerfield Suites project. What an absolute mockery of building green! The council asked the architects what kind of green practices they would be using. The architect's reply was along the lines of , we will incorporate it in our operations. This equals, we will have a recycling bin out back. Are you kidding me? He would have been better off being honest.....we are not doing anything! Companies like Hyatt should be setting a standard in the hotel industry and cities like Broomfield should hold them to it.
