−	Numerous are the countries around the world that have already taken steps and implemented sustainable policies and countries like the United Kingdom and like my home country, Italy, should take inspiration from. Iceland, considered the first most ecologically sustainable country in the world, is now producing 100% of its electric energy from renewable resources. In second place, Switzerland, with 31% of its land covered by forests, is now using its own resources to build new houses (According to Alternet.com). A more ecologically sustainable United Kingdom should not only implicate tighten regulations, but it should implicate a radical change in everyday people's lives. Along with other subjects, schools should be used as a way to educate and grow awareness about the consequences of our actions on the environment. That will already become a starting point for future generations. However, houses and public buildings should become one individual organism that imitate a natural ecosystem, meaning that they will be self sufficient. Buildings in the future should be able to produce and renew the energy used in order to create a continuous cycle of production and recycle. Another aspect to be kept into consideration should be the use of locally source materials. In the food industry in Italy, something called "kilometer zero" food has been highly promoted; this means that the food is grown, produced and distributed locally. Something similar should become a norm for materials and production and become a "Mile zero" architecture ~~instead~~. Architects, builders and industries should become aware and promote the use of local materials, so that each area in the country will mainly use the resources found in the territory, as well as for clients to support and engage only with local industries and builders.	+	Numerous are the countries around the world that have already taken steps and implemented sustainable policies and countries like the United Kingdom and like my home country, Italy, should take inspiration from.
