I have 5 proposals : 1 Shifting behavior for a changing climate Global Serious Errors of Design and Environmental , Green Standard of the World Analyze : US EPA Region 4 , 5 , NOAA CWCP 2 Creating public demand for green buildings Global Serious Errors of Design and Environmental , Green Standard of the World Analyze : University of Texas at Dallas , NOAA CWCP 3 U.S. Federal Agencies Global Serious Errors of Design and Environmental , Green Standard of the World Analyze : US EPA Region 4 , 5 , NOAA CWCP 4 Urban Resilience: Climate Actions for Urban Areas Global Serious Errors of Design and Environmental , Green Standard of the World Analyze : US EPA Region 4 , 5 , NOAA CWCP 5 Industry Global Serious Errors of Design and Environmental , Green Standard of the World Analyze : General Mills Inc , Better Living Mill Shop . ' Environmental laws , Green standards never force us to calculate how much CO2 our environment absorb before and after we build buildings ' And we build our cities , towns some thousand years without knowledge about how much CO2 plants of the location where we build buildings . Main idea is when we build a building , you will have to destroy some wild trees or wild grass area . But AFTER WE FINISH TO BUILD THE BUILDING , WE NEVER PLANT SOME TREES TO MAKE EARTH SOAK , STORE MORE CO2 BECAUSE OF THE BUILDING DESTROY TREES , PLANTS . NO ONE SUPPORT ME .

If 1 building destroy tree can absorb 1000 lbs CO2 per year , after we build a building , we must plant trees or anything can absorb 1000 lbs CO2 per year . And environmental laws , green standards , sustainable design accept this - are environmental laws , green standards , sustainable design destroy soaking , storing , absorbing CO2 of Earth , YES . But no one support me . Very sad .
