The path will lead to an eco-friendly “Central Park” that will have as its centerpiece the Solar Decathlon House, a student-built, solar-powered house that will be constructed using sustainable materials. It will be similar to Future House USA, a student-designed and student-built green building that was constructed last summer near the Beijing Olympic Village..." It should be corrected as such: "... The path will lead to an eco-friendly “Central Park” that will have as its centerpiece the Solar Decathlon House, a student-built, solar-powered house that will be restored using sustainable materials. It will have many features similar to Future House USA, a green building that was designed and constructed by an FIU/industry consortium last summer near the Beijing Olympic Village..." Thank you.

An example of this is a student-built, solar-powered house that will be constructed using sustainable materials.as sited in the above article. An alternative energy has a lot of positives to offer including the fact that solar is free and renewable. Keep up the good job.

I used to work at the Alumni center at USF, and I used to sell these bricks over there. Plus, the bricks purchased from USF were 100% tax refundable, so they were practically free!
