LEED is a joke. My dad used to manage a large office building in chicago and the certification was done by the building management itself. The guy collecting the data asked all the tenants for the info and threw out all the reports that made the building look bad. They got leed certification.

I'm also for more efficient use of resources but I'm skeptical LEED actually improves this. Also, all those curtain walled buildings are hideous and destroy the built environment.
