The following quote (from article) makes me laugh:

“Even Britain has received blistering criticism for its slow adoption, which caused projected carbon savings for 2010 to drop by 80%.”!

Isn’t it ironic how British people sound sophisticated yet they are not taking responsibility to protect our environment?  What do all my British friends have to say about this?  Go Green…

The 100 North Tampa LEED team is days away from submitting our LEED (EBOM) application to the USGBC.  We are projected to save 10% ($140k) – 20% ($280k) in energy costs over the next 12 months.  This will also save on GreenHouse Gas emissions.  The following chart is a snap shot from Energy Star

12 Months Ending	Current Total Site Energy Use (kBtu)	Current Direct GHG Emissions (MtCO2e)	Current Indirect GHG Emissions (MtCO2e)	Current Total GHG Emissions (MtCO2e)	Baseline Total GHG Emissions (MtCO2e)	Change from Baseline: GHG Emissions (MtCO2e)
