A building is eco-friendly if it helps the planet. Imagine a house that drinks sunlight like a plant and uses water from the sky instead of running taps all day, that's eco-friendly! But if it eats up lots of energy, makes pollution, or uses too much water, then it’s not so friendly to Earth.
Examples
- A house with big windows that let in sunlight during the day
- A school building that uses collected rainwater for its toilets
- An office that turns off lights when no one is there
