There are always at least 5 of us living here, It houses my medical practice and my husband's office. we have zero commutes!!!!!! we have taken in a teen in need of a home in addition to our two children. I save on utilities for my medical practice which used to be housed in another location where I needed to commute and have another set of heating, cooling and electrical utilities.

I find that those that throw stones often are the doing the least for the environment!

dear jetarsrace06

the house was built with compressed recylced wood pieces, NO LUMBAR. the outside is mud brick stucco with hardy boy, another recycled wood cement product

LOL at you

Building and creating an environmentally-friendly house requires good planning and budgeting

[MrDavidCCole]

@Beef1188 High expectations asian father

[dangerousdashie]

@caredebear1214 this is my aunts and uncles house too! are we related?

[dick117]

She's pretty preachy for someone that built a 4000 sq ft house intended for 2 people. That place looks like a converted warehouse. REDUCE, reuse and recycle are in order of importance.

[Beef1188]

80$ per month for utility is still not zero!

[caredebear1214]

Guesse what everybody, this is my aunt and uncle's house! I was there when they were building it!

@batmobile13 this is not the norm in building green, this is for those that still feel they need massive houses regardless or its impact, which it a huge issue regardless the "green" they think it is...

[MrEnergyCzar]

I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...
