Ancient design principles that are being ignored for issues that have primarilary to do with the materials of construction. Carbon Nuetrality should be balanced with design and orientation of buildings. There are issues that transcend what a building is made of alone.Archetecture is a national problem, a public health issue. Today a growing concern is being explored about the buildings that create a great deal of suffering, anxiety, sickness, and negativity amongst members of families due to the wrong orientation of their house. This is the evolution of what had been popularized as "Sick Building Syndrome".Programs to reconstruct homes and working places of all the people of the world may be very necessary for the peace and happiness of every family. This is not a time for half measure.For the same reason government buildings have also to be rebuilt in every country.

Archetecture is a national problem, a public health issue.

Programs to reconstruct homes and working places of all the people of the world may be very necessary for the peace and happiness of every family. This is not a time for half measure.

For the same reason government buildings have also to be rebuilt in every country. It is perhaps more than what a building is made of theat we need to be concerned with.

While I fully support the use of renewable resources for energy, carbon credits are a joke. If you want to spearhead/advocate/lead a real change then by all means, please do so. But the sooner we come up with a real solution, the better. Until then, carbon credits are just another 'feel-good' answer to a complicated worldwide problem. Not that the idea is bad, just that it will ultimately make no difference. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not impressed.

True, policy & such needs to be pursued, enacted, and applied, but it is not a joke that EVERYTHING, EVERYBODY needs to respond to the crisis.Too, in some humorous way it's good to see them doing something tangible.
