Climate change, peak oil (limits to the available supply of oil) and over use of other natural resources are facing us all with an unprecedented crisis. We believe in taking personal responsibility for the way we live and effect the world around us.
The first step is to become informed, to help you know what you should be looking for in an eco home and products. One way is to search the web, which has taken you to our web site, or, get informed about green homes is to attend a green home show where you can meet green home builders, see green home products, and learn more about green homes in general. Often your local chamber of commerce will have information about green home events in your area. It is important to educate yourself about green homes before you spend your hard earned money. Just because a green home is listed as a green home does not make it so and there is no need to spend more for a green home that is not really green.
If you're looking to simply buy a new or existing green home or product it can be challenging to weed through the thousands of conventional property listings to find the rare eco home among them.
