Summary
Green buildings have been built more and more to achieve sustainable development.
green building are environmentally friendly and save many resources.
first, use of electricity and heat are reduced by big windows and solar cells.
second, rooftop gardens with grass and flowers block sun's heat and keeps the building cooler.
third, green buildings recycle water and use recycled materials such as newspaper or milk containers.

comment
I have heard that environment pollution is increasing and nature could be collapsed in the near future.

actually, I don't know environment pollution directly. but I feel afraid and anxiety about environment.
so green building gives me hope. buildings are close things to people. because people spend most of time in the buildings. if we construct green buildings continuously, we will save more resources and preseve nature.

School Uniform

Lots of BIHS first grade students don't like wearing school uniforms.
they say school uniform is inconvenient. but I think school uniform have many
advantages to students.
first, we can be protected in society. school uniforms show and prove that we are students. when we just wear normal clothes, people don't know we are students or adults. so we will get inequality. if we wear school uniform, adults and society protect easily and treat importantly.
second, school uniform is efficient. wearing normal clothes can be convenient and good to us.
but most of students will be worried about how to wear clothes and want to buy new clothes.
also, they spend many time to prepare clothes in morning. however, we don't spend our time when we just wear uniform in school.
I know teenager regard their own characters, so they want to wear their styles of clothes.
but school uniform is the most proper clothes of studying and has many advantages.
it is good to wear school uniforms in school.
