City Creek is going green in national pilot program

Congratulations, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for their far sighted attitude!

When oh when, is the great Salt Lake going to "go green". It is so sad and disgraceful how polluted and neglected it is! It could be developed around it, etc. What a national treasure it is, and it is literally disgrace how it has been polluted, neglected, and now the problem is being ignored.

Way to go! The Church is already doing so much to help downtown and this is icing on the cake. Most everything the Church does is first class.

A step in the right direction toward making caring for the environment in Utah "religiously correct".

Seattle tried to go green a few years back with a government building. It cost something like two times more to build, and ended up using 50% more energy than the 50 year old building it replaced. Big bust if you ask me......

Mark the key word in your post was "government". Say what you will about the church, when they build something, anything, they do an excellent job.

Keep in my that there exists two related but separate issues. First,Being concerned about pollution while being environmentally responsibility and second, blaming humans for being the primary reason for climate change.One is primarily a belief system, the second a political issue imposed on true science.

This is very good news, but old news. I reported this on my blog three weeks ago on March 30, and that was even old news, since the application for the pilot program went through back in January.
