When is a new bike rack as eco-friendly as an old building?

By Thornton Kay

Florida, USA - Steve Mouzon of the Original Green blog illustrates the weakness of the US additive points-based LEED system: adding a bike rack and a changing room scores as many points as re-using 75% of an existing building. Is biking to work good? Absolutely. But there's no question which is easier for a developer to do: 'crank up those bulldozers and trash the existing building, boys... we've got our LEED credit with the bike rack!'
