LEED for weeds

The LEED certification for sustainable architecture and buildings has been around for a while now, and ever since, huge strides have been made in the quality and sustainability of buildings both public and private.

Of course, a big part of architecture has always involved the nature and quality of the landscaping that surrounds it. With that in mind, the American Society of Landscape Architects pioneered a new standard (still in its preliminary case study phases), that could eventually enable the landscaping surrounding buildings to clean the soil, groundwater, and even clean wastewater. Could be pretty neat once they get the initial studies done!
