Answer 1

Answer:

In order to help preserve and protect our environment, builders should construct more "green" buildings.    

Explanation:

The reason is that the greener planet is only possible if whatever we do doesn't harms our present and future environment and this is only possible if the operations of businesses and individuals are greener. So the main idea was that the businesses must move to greener planet which in other words was sustainability. Sustainability is meeting present generation needs without compromising future generation needs.
