A
Clean City: The Green Construction Story by Robyn C. Friend
and Judith Love Cohen was written to help our youngest generation learn
how they can participate in helping to preserve our Earth. This book
tells the exciting story of how architects and builders have been working
hard to consider the impact on the environment and the need for sustainability
(green architecture and green construction) that go into the choices
made when a new building is designed. Green Construction and Architecture
involves reduction in size, reuse of valuable resources and recycling
of materials so that future generations will enjoy the Earth as we have.
Cooling tower:
A modern cooling tower is designed to catch the wind
coming from any direction, and direct the cool air into
the building, to keep its temperature cool without using
electricity or pollutants.
Bioswale:
Filtered water reenters the ground water supply.
Let's
look at a green roof. That
doesn't mean a roof that is colored green, but a roof
that has plants growing on it!
