Going Green anyone?

Tweet

Lately there has been alot of talk about "going green" or being more energy effecient. I think that going green is a faboulus idea, In my household we have already started to do this, by getting those curly lightbulbs, ( lol im sorry i cant remember what they are called) All my appliances are within three years old, I got rid of my old washer and dryer, and bought a high effeciency Whirlpool duo sport. We dont have recycling, but we take these things i cant reuses for something else, to friends/family who have recycling. We are going to start building our new home this summer, that is all natural metrial even the roof. (well minus the rubber that needs to be under the dirt and grass seed) using wood, and cemement to build. The house is called a 'cord wood" or a "wood stack" home. When we build this we are planning on having solar panels, and wood heat. We will plant a huge garden and can or freeze what we can for the winter. I am super excited about being able to live off the earth, and be so close to nature. Im wondering how many people are wanting to go green, or who have started to already? oh btw if you want to see some pics or read any information on cord wood homes here are some links. www.motherearthnews.com/green-home-bulding/1995-04-01/Rob-Roys-Earthwood-Homes.aspx www.daycreek.com/dc/html/albummenue.htm
