Descripción de la solapa
"What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?" - Henry David Thoreau
Today's sophisticated and technologically savvy generation faces even greater challenges with rescuing the environment and leaving a better world - and a better life - for those to follow. Green living begins at home. Most of the energy-derived pollution we produce comes as a direct result of our homes - how we heat them, how we cool them, how we keep them well lit and full of things that make our lives so comfortable. The good news is that we have tremendous power right in our own hands to create change. Renewable energy design, better insulation, and more efficient appliances could reduce energy demands by 60 to 80 percent. By embracing conservation and renewable energy, we can win our energy independence and help save the planet. If everyone began conserving today, we would see immediate results. Be a part of the green-living movement and discover the possibilities for home energy as part of a new whole-home strategy for living green.
"The days of building cookie-cutter McMansions are over, and the era of thinking about the real cost of a house has begun. And this is the guide to doing it with enormous elegance, real frugality, and a commitment to the health of the world beyond your walls." -Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy
