For its part, he said, the financial services giant is awaking not only to the environmental benefits of sustainable real estate practices among its sprawling portfolio, but also to the concurrent business opportunities that sustainability presents." -- The Slatin Report http://www.theslatinreport.com/story.jsp?StoryName=1204tcba.txt Comments?
