This author of this article writes about how an airport in Canada is being awarded for being green and motivating the Green Movement. This airport has a water system that collects rainwater and the system cleans the water to be usable. It also used recycled and reusable materials in the making of the building and has other energy sources they use to get their building power up. The award the leaders were given is named Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. As said before, they were awarded this certification due to them being green when building and using the airport. Canada has achieved an achievement that most countries should be doing. Buildings that are able to function like a traditional building and function to promote the Green movement are the examples that the world can decrease global warming and climate change and be efficient with the environment. I do question how much they spent on the building and how their energy systems work? Another question I had is whether the airport owner gets paid well and the workers as well? Even though the building is an example of increasing the Green Movement, it should also show that they are doing fine in the economy. Also, the third question I had is if the airport building is green than are the owners providing recycled materials? This airport seems like a great setup and it seems like it is functioning properly, however, how long will it be functional? If it keeps being functional, then Canada should spread their strategy on making a green functional building to other countries in order to spread the Green Movement. However, if the building does not make money and goes into debt, then the owners need to think about a different way to be green and economically beneficial. Overall this building is an accomplishment in the Green Movement because it is using renewable sources to power their energy. Buildings like this one in Canada should be replicated or have improvements in innovating green buildings.
