Why build a green home?
There are many reasons to build a green home. Perhaps you want to provide a safe, healthy place for your children to grow up, or maybe you’re concerned about rising energy costs. Your priority might be comfort, or durability—knowing that the house will last a long time with minimal maintenance. For a growing number of us, building a green home is about doing our part to protect the environment, helping to make the world a better place for our children and grandchildren. A green home is all of this, and often much more. – Alex Wilson, author of Your Green Home and executive editor of Environmental Building News, www.BuildingGreen.
