In a poem simply entitled “Green” - Nigerian Poet Oluseyi Oluseun writes that
green is “the color of the mind, the symbol of hope... the symbol of advance-
ment... the symbol of perfect growth.” In the modern era, green has also become
symbolic of the growth in demand relative to the designing and developing of
commercial and residential properties - and thanks in large credit to organiza-
tions such as the U.S. Green Building Council, green has emerged as a succinct
symbol of quality.
