We need to be very careful about the materials (材料) we use. It is better to choose renewable materials—those that the Earth replaces quickly. 3 Also, for those materials that are not renewable, we need to use them as little as possible.

5 For example, they might try to use as little land as possible. If a building covers a large area, there will be less space for plants and trees. They also have to think about cutting down waste and pollution while the building work is going on.
