Essay Instructions: GREEN / SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
Green and sustainable design goes beyond being just efficient, attractive, on time and on budget. It is a
design that cares about how such goals are achieved, about its effect on people and on the
environment. An environmentally responsible professional makes a commitment to constantly try to
find ways to diminish design's impact on the world around us. It is also a smart way of doing business;
sustainable design is the fastest growing segment of our industry.
