earth day!!

according to building green on saturday last week (may 1) marked the 40th aniversary of Earth Day. ithink it is a mildstone considering this point has been carrying on for so long and we too cooped up in our own worlds to realise this. its older than most of us and we still ignoring the impact and effects it has on the world. as candidates and future architects its important to realise this and incorporate what ever we design or conceptualise need to be sustainable, green, mainly becuase the 'choice' of materials we use or want to use wil affect the evironment.Our current projects are very much related and focused on sustainablity, cooling air, natural ventilation. so i do appreciate this day and i hope people get arround and do little things like saving water, electricity because we will regret it one day, maybe not now maybe next 40 years but its coming, coming veryyyy sooon!! So people have a little read on the article posted on buidinggreen.com, it may inspire you if not make you think alittle. happy belated earth day!
