So the UN has finally seen that our environment does need help. But it wants to do something in order to show the world that it is aware. The UN is building a huge “Think Tank”, basically the UN Global Compact Center will act as the site where the UN officials will meet up and talk about environmental problems and how to fix them and other Global problems. The building is being built over the very infamous Hunter’s Point Shipyard, which has been deemed one of the most polluted sites in the nation by the US Environmental Agency, as a sign of environmental awareness. The building will ultimately be an 80,000-square-foot center that’s LEED certified, cost $20 million and is scheduled to begin construction in 2011.
