I've Got Green in Low Places...

This past week, I came across several articles that show how Green Building is starting to pop up in places you'd never expect.  Here are but a few of them:

1. "Green Nightclub Trend Comes to New York" from the NY Times' Green Inc. blog.  I had never really considered looking to nightclubs for examples of Green Building, but apparently they have more to offer than eardrum popping music, hotties who apparently don't like it when you do the Mangina for them, and $12 whiskeys in plastic cups.  Good to know.
2. "Project 3.0 greens Ybor City"...as a born & raised central Florida boy, I was amazed to read that the 103 year old Tampa Bay Brewing Company building is undergoing a green renovation.  If Green Building can work in this building, they can work anywhere.
3. "New spas go green"...even the Mecca of poor urban planning, Atlanta, is showing signs of green innovation.  I love the quote from the spa founder & CEO:  "We've always been interested in building with energy efficiency and eco-chic design."  

Eco-chic, I hadn't heard that phrase before.  I think I like it, but I'm kind of dubious because it makes Green sound like just a fad.  Is Green Building the next fad?  Will it go the way of boy bands, slap bracelets, Pauly Shore, and such?  Or will it be an ever-enduring fad, like The Beatles?  Only time will tell, but I'm betting on Green.
