| Energy conservation, reduction of pollutants, and using renewable resources need to become a growing trend in our society. Presently, we are destroying our ozone layer, consuming all our vital natural resources, and releasing dangerous green house gasses into our environment. These habits are leading to problems ranging from destroying ecosystems to global warming. The government is enacting laws to help prevent this global destruction, however, these laws cannot be passed at the rate the environment is being harmed. A few universities, in turn, are taking a proactive step to help fix this problem. These universities are constructing green dormitories. | ||||||||||||||||||||
