““Sustainable designSustainable design recognizes recognizes the the interdependence of the interdependence of the built and natural built and natural environmentsenvironments; it seeks to ; it seeks to harness natural energy flows harness natural energy flows and biological processes, and biological processes, eliminate reliance on fossil eliminate reliance on fossil fuels and toxic materials, fuels and toxic materials, and improve resources and and improve resources and efficiency. In the short run, efficiency. In the short run, the impact of these changes the impact of these changes will reduce the will reduce the environmental impact of our environmental impact of our designs. In the long run, the designs. In the long run, the goal is to create buildings goal is to create buildings that are not only not harmful that are not only not harmful but actually but actually part of natural part of natural systems and restorative of systems and restorative of those systemsthose systems. . Sustainable Sustainable design is concerned with design is concerned with the quality of our the quality of our environment as a whole environment as a whole systemsystem””
