Executive Order to re-build Sustainably
I was just thinking with the recent bouts with tornadoes. Plus, the Hurricanes of Katrina and Rita a few years back plus other natural disasters. Why don't we organize a petition or mandate of some kind to re-build using only environmentally friendly products and install more sustainable energy systems? Rather than re-building exactly the same way, here's an opportunity to implement the positive environmental changes we'd all like to see come about.
What are some of the most effective ways to bring this about? Nows the time what with the Presidential election coming up in a few months.
Would you suggest a Petition, demand an Executive Order or what?
What are your thoughts?

Check this out...
"After the tornado, the city council passed a resolution stating that all city building would be built to LEED - platinum standards, making it the first city in the nation to do so. Greensburg is rebuilding as a "green" town, with the help of the non-profit organization created to help the residents learn about and implement the green living initiative, Greensburg GreenTown[6].
Here is an account of the green projects on the towns official website:
Information and Resources available for residents and businesses to consider during the rebuilding process.

Wouldn't be great to see this done on a national and a global level!?!?
