Please note the incredible waste of electricity in all those unoccupied spaces in office towers. Those bright lights also confuse thousands of migrating birds who crash into them falling to their deaths. It galls me particularly because for eight years I worked in an "LEED Certified" building on Sixth Avenue where acres of office space's lights could not be turned off, thus wasting resources and money while causing more bird deaths. The LEED Certification states that its awards are given to "resource-efficient, high-performing, healthy, cost-effective buildings." What a bunch of baloney.
