I suppose this is an example of what WorldChanging calls &#8220;leapfrogging&#8221;: India&#8217;s still at a point in its development that it&#8217;s exempt from Kyoto obligations, but  construction projects like this demonstrate that maybe some in the country are willing to bypass the dirtier aspects of growth.<\/p>\n<p>Technorati tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/green+building\" rel=\"tag\">green building<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/sustainable+development\" rel=\"tag\">sustainable development<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/India\" rel=\"tag\">India<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Times of India, an article describing the plans for the Auto Cluster Development and Research Institute Limited (ACDRIL) building in Pune, currently under construction: The institute, which will&nbsp;[ &hellip;
