Sustainable design

“The Office of Administration and Planning welcomes your feedback on revisions to the Sustainable Design and Construction policy (currently the Green Build and Energy policy). “ Ohio State University

I read my husband’s architecture journals and e-mails and see a lot about “sustainable” and “green” and “small.” Thousands of pages, gallons of ink, and angst filled pie-in-the sky millennial writers worshiping Mother Earth with religious green fever. And then poof.  All it took was a pandemic and lockdowns from our governors.  No committees or feedback from architects, pastors or librarians.  No need even for new or remodeled buildings.  Lock ‘em down.  Send everyone home except truckers and grocery clerks, get a good internet connection, sign up for Zoom and we’re good to go.  No pollution. No sustainable design.  No energy plan.
