What is source reduction?
A: Reducing the amount of stormwater runoff
B: Reducing energy use in a building
C: Reducing the heat island effect
D: Decreasing the materials used for manufacturing products

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Reducing energy use is described as optimized energy performance by LEED; reducing stormwater runoff and reducing island effect do not have relations with source reduction;Reducing waste at its source is the best way to reduce waste. Less packaging and fewer materials reduce the demand for virgin materials.
