I wholeh...SD, Economics, Senior, DePaul University<br /><br />I wholeheartedly agree with Liam's assessment that restoration can play a pivotal role in Chicago's green infrastructure planning. It is a positive time in the conservation and restoration community in Chicago as its been little over a month since Governor Pat Quinn announced the Millennium Reserve Project. It goes to show that the political atmosphere is slowly becoming more perceptive to the environmental and social benefits of open spaces. <br /><br /><br />It was quite interesting reading about green infrastructure with respect to ecological concepts. As I'm preparing for the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Associate certification, I recognize that restoration is rarely mentioned in the entire process. As LEED certified buildings become more popular, I hope the United States Green Building Council sees the value that restoration can add to its certification process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
