I hesitate to say that companies are greenwashing still. I'd like to think we're beyond that, but I suppose we're not. Nearly every article I read about LEED has to do with another building become certified. It must be hard for companies to compete if they're taking the same steps. I just don't want to call it greenwashing. I can't help but think people are actually trying to take more sustainable steps without getting some kind of recognition.
