builders can now use materials-such as paints that release significantly reduced amounts of organic compounds-that don’t destroy the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately, however, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being “less bad” but on creating completely healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil or reused by industry again and again. As a matter of fact, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already developed a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable (可循环用的).
Look at it this way: No one starts out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our current industrial systems are inevitably causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So instead of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are adopting a positive approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a beneficial effect on the world. It’s not just the building industry, either. Entire cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building. Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world.
