Treehugger.com is awesome

I have found a great community for talking to people about ways to decrease my impact on the environment.

The new home my wife and I are building is one I want to try to reduce the amount of energy it uses (despite the fact that it's ridiculously big).

If you're interested in green solutions, it's a great site.

That is a fabulous site. It really can make a huge difference if you make those choices AS you are buliding. That is really the way to do it.

So, are you guys looking at sustainable design or are you trying to use better building products? It's been a couple of years since I went to the International Home Builders Show but there were some amazing building products out there.

Lumeloid, at 4cents a killowatt hour you would have to be DOH! not to make use of this new solar cell. Supposed to be available in a couple of years.
