making a green future doesn't mean we have to build more and more to fit the description. We need to take what we have and modify it in a way that we can live green in our current homes, without all the high tech. We know what will work for our own individual families and what won't. This way we save money, and other natural resources it would take to build a new home, no matter how eco-friendly they may be. That is truly going green.
New houses should never exceed 1,700 square feet.
