Seating Area Outside the Union by Laura Hunt

There are many things about this picture that helps make Russell Union green. One reason would be the recycle bins conveniently located outside the seating area and along the walk way. The tree canopies covering the tables also makes the building green because it is a natural way to cool down an area without using energy.
