So 【C17】______ of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are 【C18】______ a positive approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a 【C19】______ effect on the world. It’s not just the building industry, either. 【C20】______ cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building.
