Efforts to green urban decay are showing up everywhere and those involved are raising their public profiles as green do-gooders in the media.
Today, the San Francisco Examiner reported that Lowe’s is in talks of becoming the “economic anchor” in San Francisco’s Bayview and Bernal Heights Neighborhoods, one of the city’s neglected ghost towns. Lowe’s would allow city plans for a vibrant green corridor – focused on green home improvement and rebuilding – to come into fruition. Without even signing the papers, the company is beginning to receive media attention.
Non-profits and investors are already getting involved in revitalizing urban decay with green and are deservedly reaping the benefit of media coverage.
