How would you respond if 95% of your town's homes and businesses were destroyed by a two-mile-wide tornado? Greensburg, KS decided to be the first city in the United States to pass a resolution to make every city building a LEED Platinum building. Below is a rendering of their business incubator building. Talk about making lemonade:
"Although this storm was devastating to our community, we are presented
with an incredible opportunity to show the world our strength and to
create a new future for those who will live here. We strongly believe
that we will be back, better than ever, and will be a model for rural
America."
