Let's make a Deal at the Eco Malls

Forget the neo-hippy fairs and eco chic enclaves, why not just make an entire mall eco-friendly? Chicago will do just that with the Green Exchange, which has been hyped as the world's first eco mall, when it opens sometime this year. The 250,000 square foot building will hold approximately 100 vendors. Asides from retailers, there will also be an organic cafe and restaurant, sustainable furniture store, service providers and designers.
