  • Kevin, I haven't seen you for a long time.

  • Did you go abroad this summer?

  • No, but I just came back from Penghu.

  • I bought some postcards for you guys.

  • Here, pick one.

  • I like the one that has the bright blue sky and the unusual rocks.

  • Hey, what's that building with all the strange square glass on it?

  • It’s the building that is known for its green design.

  • Green design?

  • But its walls aren't painted green.

  • Come on.

  • Green means eco-friendly.

  • OK. What can green buildings do for the Earth?

  • Well, they save people money and the Earth's natural resources.

  • Can you give me an example?

  • With eco-friendly glass,

  • more sunlight is let through and makes everything inside brighter.

  • So people who live in these buildings can use less energy to light up their homes

  • and still live comfortably.

  • Being eco-friendly is a win-win way to go.
