Sustainable living is a practical philosophy whereby we strive
to use only renewable (sustainable) resources to safeguard the
future for our children. A sustainable society would use only as

environmentally benign. Sustainable architecture/ Green
buildings Green Building is the construction and renovation of

waste, pollution, and environmental erosion. Architecture 2030
