Recycled Houses

Traditional houses are often built with wood, concrete,

bricks, or aluminum. Using these materials can have a

negative effect on the environment and can also be

to reduce something to the lowest possible level
v.
costly. To minimize these problems, many people build
minimize

houses out of recycled materials. For example, when an

old building is taken down, an architect can purchase

and recycle the materials for a new house.
