I definitely agree with you some government officials are taking advantage of their position without thinking of the possible effects to other persons

There are so many private sectors that are protected by the government for they can benefit with them, not thinking that these private sectors are taking advantages to several matters, green construction is a bridge that will connect us to a better and cleaner world

Is it possible that the Winnie the Pooh analogies are getting a bit far afield? Nah! Thanks for the reply YahYa, I hope that this post starts some good discussion.

Not at all Chris…I get it. To continue your analogy, I'm probably more akin to a hybrid of Pooh Bear and Tigger. I'm often excited about anything innovate, new, fresh and have to 'reel it in'. Your views are no doubt respected and necessary. If everyone thought about the potential benefits without considering the potential pitfalls, we'd all be charting an unsustainable course.

As I thought more about this post, I know I could be seen as a green building skeptic. I just want to clarify that any skepticism is directed toward the thought that risk gets lost in the shuffle of moving toward a laudable goal. I hope that readers don't take this post as a pan on sustainability. I, like Eeyore, just want to make sure that the potential pitfalls (and Murphy's Law) are taken into account during the process so that any gains are cemented and not lost.
