[Greenbuilding] The Coolest Buildings Aren't Green

[Gennaro Brooks-Church - Eco Brooklyn]

  "If we don't like being treated like cattle - why do we allow cattle to
be treated like that?  Why inflict unnecessary pain and suffering on
animals? Even if you could make it "green"

Because we are vicious killer monkeys who didn't get to the top of the food
chain by being compassionate. Yet now when we can afford to be
compassionate we continue to behave in outdated and unnecessary ways.
Habits die hard.
