Education+and+Awareness

Awareness and Education By: Carrie Rister **Awareness and education is educating**  **people about LEED**, and teaching them how to be more Eco  friendly.  How have an ecofriendly building that helps the environment. One solution for how to educate people about LEED is to **have private meetings** taught by experts from LEED, and to let the public go on tours so they could see highly ranked LEED buildings.

Having meetings would **let people get more information** than if we used other methods, because they would be able to ask the <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">experts questions about LEED. Also, <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**letting people visit the buildings** <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">would help motivate them to try using what they learned to build

<span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">LEED buildings, or to get citizens more interested in learning more about LEED. Also, <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">they would be able to learn <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">about LEED in <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**a visual way**, helping them become more interested. <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Lastly, educating people would be more effective than other methods because they <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">would know how to get more information about the subject if they <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">were interested after the meeting.

<span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">We could put this solution into action by** booking a place to hold ** <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">** meetings at IoD **, and use their facilities (a place where you can hold LEED meetings free of charge) by using this link []<span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">. Also, **we could hold meetings** <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> **at KIH**. We would hire a person to teach about LEED (either a LEED spokesperson <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">which would the cost can vary, or we could use an employee who <span style="color: #4867a3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">works for LEED, who hopefully would volunteer their time).
