World's Second Tallest Building To Be Green?
(via www.thedailygreen.com)
The historic city of Philadelphia hasn't been known for its skyline in a long time. Now, some developers want to change that with a proposal to construct what would become the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the second-tallest building in the world, standing at 1,500 feet, with a very-high degree of energy and water efficiency.

The Local Food Bandwagon. (Hop on, it has tasty snacks!)
(via therealpotato.wordpress.com)
Is “buy fresh, buy local” a “bandwagon”? And if it becomes one, is that a bad thing? After all, it’s not exactly a restaurant fad. Eating on giant beds? Serving foam with everything? Those are fads. Serving fresh food that’s actually in season? Not so much.
