As I took a small break between cases and contract reviews, an article in the November 2, 2009 issue of ENR Magazine caught my eye.  The article discusses the efforts of a Chicago architect to create a holistic approach to the renovation and "de-car - Christopher Hill

"Is it possible that the Winnie the Pooh analogies are getting a bit far afield? Nah! Thanks for the reply YahYa, I hope that this post starts some good discussion." - Christopher Hill

"As I thought more about this post, I know I could be seen as a green building skeptic. I just want to clarify that any skepticism is directed toward the thought that risk gets lost in the shuffle of moving toward a laudable goal.

Some good basic tips from Lawyerist - Christopher Hill

"I agree completely. Without education from both ends, the process won't work. Unless the economics of it (and any risks) are properly vetted and transmitted to both ends of the equation, sustainable design and building won't sell and won't take hold." - Christopher Hill

A good reminder to lawyers that brevity is great in blogs, if not in briefs. - Christopher Hill

"With the great folks at B2S, I can't see that happening. If we can make the economic case, I believe that this is the first step toward philosophical change." - Christopher Hill

"I think that this is a great point. While I personally agree with James that the business case is the way to go, this case is what I believe to be the best means to the "end" of sustainable construction. We have to sell it.

I see it as the best vehicle toward a sustainable future." - Christopher Hill

A great article about the need to take advantage of the practical experiences of law school over the theoretical ones. - Christopher Hill

"Great thoughts on the Social Media landscape. I can't imaging ever being an expert at this area as it is like saying you're an expert at conversation and friendship. It is a new tool that must be put into a human context and spread beyond the Web." - Christopher Hill

"Thanks for the great post! It is easy to get lost in cyberspace, and this is a great reminder." - Christopher Hill

"I do as well. I think that incentives and a market based approach will lead to a more "internalized" sustainable culture that will become self replicating. The stick only makes people cringe." - Christopher Hill

"Did I say sustainable enough?" - Christopher Hill

"Great thoughts. For sustainability to be sustainable, we need to take into account the social and economic aspects as well as the environmental if the idea is to work." - Christopher Hill
