Sustainable Sites Initiative makes the NY Times

Today's NY Times included a fairly lengthy piece on the Sustainable Sites Initiative. Their article looks more at the USBG's participation. It includes a quote from Ray Mims:

“We want to make sure that you look at the soil, the vegetation, the hydrology, so that you are improving — or certainly not harming — the natural ecosystem,” he said.

That would be an interesting contrast with the LEED standards which seem designed to promote building by trying to be less bad.
