Chicagoland is all about sustainability. Just look at the land use practices in the collar counties, and the region's well-maintained public transit system.

...hmmm perhaps that won't work... search for the chicago center for green technology, then click on the resources link... there's a document that was put together a while ago..."Best Practices for Green Building in Chicago"

I dont remember the name - but they were one of the early green firms before green was cool - they are the firm in the building at Damen and the Kenedy with slanted wood top - looks like a trellis

90 billion dollars in global liquidity flow through the trades at the Merc - more than the NYSE and London stock exchange combined. it and the Chicago Board of Trade are some of the coolest things to see in the city - as for green architecture, the original foundation of both exchanges is agricultural commodities - in order to stave off agricultural shocks that can throw nations' economies into depression the traders even out the ebbs and flows like shock absorbers to market fluctuations that could wreck an economy in weeks. So in a way, they keep farmers from abondoning their crops in bad markets leading to unplanted raw fields eroded by wind and rain. I know - thats a stretch - off topic totally thanks LL
