American TD Bank aims for LEED certification and carbon negative banking

If you American, we’re pretty sure you might’ve heard of America’s Most Convenient Bank as it chooses to tag itself, the TD Bank. Now America’s Most Convenient Bank could probably be America’s Greenest Bank too, with the bank switching over to carbon-negative banking processes. With the first bank in the whole of the United States to generate just about as much energy as it uses to soon swing its doors open, TD Bank has tried its level best to have its banking facility green enough to be certified with an LEED Platinum. The new banking facility will produce a minimum of 100,000 kWh annually on site, enough to fulfill its 97,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity a year requirement.

And with that, America’s Most Convenient Bank will get an added touch of green, with deeper shades of green than its logo.
