From the Paper:

"Chicago's decision was part of a growing interest in green building and in making the city environmentally friendly. Every new building has to conform to standards of environmental quality as set forth by the U. S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The standards include recycling C & D debris. The Chicago Center for Green Technology got an award for its building (Grzeskowiak, 2006). Our city could do the same. Tallahassee, Florida recently renovated their Solid Waste Administration building to conform to green standards (Grzeskowiak, 2006). "
