There are a variety of words related to sustainability and green building begin with Re. Let's review:
· Reduce -- use less
· Reuse -- use again
· Renovation -- restore to an earlier condition
· Remodel -- fix or update
· Restoration -- make it like it was
· Renewable -- a resource that reproduces rapidly
· Recycling -- materials are cycled into something else instead of trash
· Repurposing -- using something for another purpose
I have a list of words that I think should be added to the "green" vocabulary. Here is my list:
· Greeduce -- become less greedy
· Greeuse -- consider humankind before you buy or use
· Greenovation -- renovating green
· Greegenerate -- regenerate more than you use
· Grestoration -- preserving in as green a way as possible
