Green Construction Eco Friendly House

[mrtimoshay]

just because you use recycled Styrofoam, PV and solar hot water systems doesnt make your build green the use of concrete almost negates the eco value

[SageoftheValley]

How much did it cost to build that house (not including the cost of labor)?

@SageoftheValley

Interesting to know as well. very interesting...indeed

[thorleylt]

concrete isn't that eco

Looking at videos today. I like the clip, nice job , have a look at my Home Wind Turbine videos and subscribe or friend me if you like. My patent pending system won a Green Design Contest, check it out.

Thanks, Sam

i still dun get it..y does the styrofoam wont burn.?

[1jks]

Wont burn? Is it lava proof? I have land in the big island I hope to retire to, so yes I have a concern.

Concrete causes a huge amount of CO2 emitions...

if that matters...

[deankonstantine]

Earth and it's inhabitants need more, not less, CO2.

More CO2 means: * More Plant Growth * Plants need less water * More food per acre * More robust habitats and ecosystems

CO2 is Earth's greatest airborne fertilizer. Without it - No Life On Earth!

[wallonthefly]

yea, thats why I said "If it matters"

cause it really didn't... I just had a compunction to post.

The whole carbon tax thing is kind of retarded... of course, its supposed to be that way. There are the same number of trees in the US now as there were when the settlers showed up... replantation and reliance on foriegn imports. Might be something to be said about deforestation in say South America... but thats still just basically a giant carbon sink :P

breath out, breath in...

@deankonstantine Yes, CO2 is necessary but since it's at it's highest concentration in AT LEAST 800,000 years it's hardly scarce. It's also causing ocean acidification if you don't think global warming is real.

And that house is anything but "green". All the mining and energy(fossil fuels) used to produce the steal and concrete is an enormous waste of resources and source of pollution. That's great they're finding some use for recycled styrofoam, but it leaches toxins also. They're full of it.

"more stronger" good english
