Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question

The green building movement is changing the way buildings are constructed This movement started in the 1970s, as people began to see that modern life was destroying the environment we all share Natural resources were being destroyed, energy and water consumption was rising, and so was pollution of all kinds This environmental destruction has continued, and one important factor has been the way that buildings are constructed In fact, energy use in buildings represents about 32 percent of all energy use in the United States In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were

considered unrealistic Now, however, the green building movement is growing, as builders have

been able to take advantage of new technology and as the costs of this technology have gone down Environmental building methods are now practical enough to save money for builders and for building owners, even as they reduce damage to the environment

First, green builders try to make use of recycled materials as much as possible In fact, vast

amounts of materials such as steel, cement, and wood are used in construction Now there are companies that specialize in gathering old materials, processing them, and selling them to builders for new buildings States and cities are encouraging these companies, as the reuse of materials also means less waste in dumps For larger builders or individual homeowners, it is possible to find everything from steel and cement to doors, windows, sinks, tubs, brick, and hardware

Another way that builders can reduce environmental impact is to reduce the energy requirements of a building This can be done in several ways One is to provide an alternative, nonpolluting source of energy The first alternative energy source to be developed was solar power With solar panels-wide, flat sheets of special material-it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun Builders can install solar panels on the roofs of buildings and connect them to cooling or lighting systems Once the panels are installed, they provide energy at no cost and with

no pollution Another, nonpolluting solution for reducing energy use is a technology known as geothermal heating To obtain geothermal heat, builders place special pipes below ground, where temperatures remain constant all year In the winter, the earth's natural heat can be collected in these pipes, and then transferred into the building's heating system In the summer, heat in the building can be collected and sent to the pipes underground
