Sadhu Johnston
Today, we profiled Sadhu Johnston, Chicago's Commissioner of the Environment, in our column. Take a gander. We received some information past our deadline, so I am adding it here.
Sadhu told me that Chicago currently has a number of LEED certified residential high-rises under way. Here's the list of what he knows about. If you know of more in the city or the suburbs, send an email to Homelife@suntimes.com with green construction in the subject line -- Ciao!
