This presentation examines the types of "green" building materials available and how to select the best ones for your specific needs. The materials used to construct buildings can make a tremendous difference in preserving natural resources and promoting human health. Indeed, the construction and operation of most buildings today accounts for 40% of the earth's extracted raw materials and half of all waste generated, resulting in the destruction of landscapes, air and water pollution, deforestation, depletion of non-renewable resources, and overburdened landfills. |
