"Since I've learned about green technology, I try to waste less and recycle more. I've incorporated what I've learned into my own life. The one thing that really stands out for me is just how different actual construction is from the computer models we start with in class. Those lessons are invaluable. Thanks, Santander, for helping to make this possible!"
