Many community, state as well as federally funded projects require some level of certification for compliance with established guidelines for environmental sustainability.
Can we work to push for laws for across the board compliance with environmental sustainability standards for all new work in public as well as private work?

Subject: Percent for the Environment?
One percent of state project construction costs are routinely spent on public art projects in 28 states (see State Percent for Art Program). Why don't we advocate for Percent for the Environment programs? A wise state employee shared this great idea with me after years of watching sustainable design "extras" get eliminated during the design phase owing to budget limitations.
