Green building - simply requiring LEED certification doesn't work

The New York Times coverage of LEED certified buildings that are not actually very green is great coverate of a growing problem. Simply installing bamboo floors and bike racks may get a building more LEED points but it doesn't make the building very green. Even a USGBC commissioned study shows how easy it is to "game the system" and get a high rating using the least expensive, point-winning features.
