Postition Statement

The position that I am going to take is that I am for constructing and maintaining "green" long-term care facilities. The reason that I am for the "greening" of LTCF's is because the environmental impact that this could positively pose can be worth the time and money to maintain an Eco-friendly facility. Start up costs which include construction materials, electrical workings, water treatment plants, and or anything that has to do with the first processes of getting a "green" facility on the building blocks can be initially expensive but money can be saved with the operational costs. A "green" facility will have a more efficient energy sources and appliances thus cutting energy costs crucially. Not only will a "green" facility cut down on energy costs, but, it will also cut back on the carbon foot print. The cut backs are due to more efficient water systems and electrical systems. Not only will energy be impacted but going "green" can create better air quality within the facility creating a healthier living environment. These are only a few of the positive impacts that "green" facilities can pose on the surrounding environment.
