… So we are particularly interested in initiatives that combine green with green, truly a natural combination! And it turns out there are plenty of opportunities, while a lot of other things are over-hyped. Being in the city means many people rent or lease space, so there is a conflict of interest between tenants and owners which tends to hold up the show, yet here and there people are finding innovative solutions. Yet there are some amazing things tenants can do, which benefit them directly, and …
