9. CONCLUSION
Now a days, we should make a way to maximize our natural
resources and also help our earth to get some relief since
pollution is everywhere plus the global warming that we are all
experiencing.
Non-renewable energy is expensive and unsafe but through green
building we can save a lot of energy.
The importance of this is it lessen the consume of energy and the
pollution as well because the more we use non-renewable energy
the higher the risk of pollution.
