    green building project: WATgreen at University of Waterloo

    WATgreen is an innovative environmental education program where the students involved are able to make a direct contribution to the sustainability of the campus and surrounding community. The program in recent years has become representative of the necessary paradigm shift from a reactive stance to ecological issues to a more proactive stance. Through waste reduction and increased energy efficiency, the integration of green building materials in the new residence would reduce any adverse environmental impacts and is therefore is congruent with the proactive ideals of sustainability (as will be further discussed). In this way, this research project is representative of the goals of WATgreen.
