Greensburg, KS lives up to its name with new building requirements


Torn apart by a tornado and in the process of rebuilding, with the help of Leonardo DiCaprio and Discovery, Greensburg, Kansas will be the first city to require LEED Platinum building standards for anything larger than 4,000 square feet. Buildings will also be required to reduce energy use by 42%.

Talk about rebuilding with excellence -- these residents deserve a healthy and refreshed start.
