Greening up

Article Abstract:

The World Environment Business Center features a permanent exhibit of an environmentally-sound office based on guidelines of the American Institute of Architects. The exhibit focuses on the design professional's concern for the environment reflected by incorporating safe design practices. These practices are presented by juxtaposing environmentally-damaging practices such as the use of synthetic carpets which deplete petroleum resources against natural linoleum flooring.
