The Most 'Environmentally Correct' Building In The World

"The building, begun early last year just a few blocks from the World Trade Center, was to be the world's most environmentally correct residential high-rise, its developers said — an air-purified, solar-paneled monument to the marriage of mother earth and technological gee-whiz... Environmental awareness among residents, office workers and employers was sharply elevated by the dust from the twin towers' collapse and the lingering smoke from their ruins. A regional drought put new value on water conservation. And the linkage of Middle Eastern oil and the financing of terror gave solar power new life, environmentalists say, because using alternative fuels can now be considered an act of political defiance."
