We've all had this conversation: is a huge single family green home really
green? A new building in the desert? A man-made island in Dubai?

The blog Green Building Elements has collected the 10 Dumbest Green
Buildings on Earth<http://greenbuildingelements.com/2009/02/16/the-10-dumbest-green-buildings-on-earth/>,
including a BP gas station, a golf lodge, a single-family skyscraper, and a
car dealership.

A green building is better than a non-green building, in just about any
situation. But many of these buildings raise the question: is greener always
better? Or even green?
