Nature Done Wright

The Record's  Scott Fallon has an article about legislation that would require the developers of the American Dream shopping mall in the Meadowlands to use bird-friendly glass for the structure.

Reflective glass is responsible for an estimated hundreds of millions of bird deaths a year. Developers who are allowed to build a huge building along an important migratory flyway have a responsibility to make it as safe as possible.

I have worked in the Meadowlands, a major area for birds, and I've written several columns about bird-friendly glass, including this one.  It's a great idea, especially in an enormous building in a place like this. It has been done successfully elsewhere already.

Here's to Maywood Assemblyman Tim Eustace for introducing the legislation, and Bergen County Audubon for championing the issue.
