Quinn, the New York Chapter of the US Green Building Council will form a NYC Green Codes Task Force to recommend changes to “green” the laws and regulations that govern construction in New York City.

  1. do you think this committee is going to do anything useful?

    • I love the idea of your weekly chellange. The photo is helpful. Do all the weekly chellanges come from you? What about changing it up a bit. Maybe your readers could make suggestions? For example, my chellange to you would be to reach into your cupboard and grab two can goods and do bicep curls and tricep curls. Maybe start with 15 on each side? Each day add two more to your routine. You can do anything you set your mind to.
