CalRecycle (nd)'s Green Building Materials website, introduces the concept of sustainable buildings. With 3 billion tonnes of raw materials used in construction (CalRecycle, n.d.), sustainable buildings help conserve dwindling non-renewable resources. In addition, sustainable buildings offer many benefits for residents and the environment. That's why it's so important to produce more green buildings for sustainable living. The objective of green building is to resolve the conflict between limited natural resources and numerous resource consumption requirements. The green building life cycle includes building planning, calculation, construction, operation, and maintenance (CalRecycle, n.d.). At the same time, eco-friendly buildings use high-tech materials and apply the concept of sustainability to the selection and use of materials that can reduce pollution. As shown on the website Weforum (2022), a twenty percent increase in green roofs and walls can meaningfully reduce air pollution. In addition, green buildings can improve occupant comfort and improve their quality of life (CalRecycle, n.d). For example, as stated in a website by Eco - Business (2018) it was mentioned that green buildings have been designed to produce conducive environments for healthy by providing more opportunities for exercise and physical activity. With rapid population growth and declining land and resources, it is imperative to promote the production of environmentally friendly buildings. Therefore, the production of green buildings is key in tackling Earth's sustainability issues as it can reduce climate change and it produces less wastage as compared to traditional buildings
