Taking Care of Business
Letters to the Editor
This week, two members take issue with our “Are CEOs Violating the Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct?” article by Bill Smith, FAIA. One reader didn’t like the 2030 Challenge idea of wearing blue on Earth Day to support a moratorium on new coal plants, one comments on excess in Dubai, and still another offers a warning about specialized practice. Finally we have a nice letter commenting on the use of sustainable design methods in the early days of the U.S.

Keep those cards and letters to the editor coming. We love hearing what you have to say.
