Healthy Inside

While it's very important to consider the kinds of materials used in a green building, the amount of natural light that is being let in, and its source of energy, it's also very important to make sure the inside of the building is healthy for people to be in. Many of the items we find in our buildings today are full of synthetic or man-made materials that are not natural. These synthetic materials can be very useful, but they can also create problems for our health and the environment.
