by E. Originally published on The Conscious Consumers’ Network 0n[ 07/24/05 Home ownership. The American dream. Home ownership is one of the last bastions of complete freedom of will, choice & independence. A man/woman’s home is their castle, right? But did you know that with ongoing developments inrenewable energy technologies, green construction materials & green design architecture (biotechture), your home doesn’t have to pollute & cost you $ every time you flip on a light switch? In fact your home can be producing it’s own electricity, supplying much of it’s own water, heat & cooling (or be designed so well that their is little need for powered air conditioning or lighting). Currently, on the west coast of the U.S., their are homes that produce a surplus of clean energy & sell it back to their electric company or are off the grid altogether. If you think these types of homes have only one 15 watt light bulb & no HDTV, you’d be wrong. Modern homes with all the techno-cultural creature comforts American’s have decided they can’t live without are still available in a properly designed energy self-sufficient home. While it currently costs more to design, construct & outfit a renewable resource home, those costs are rapidly falling as the market grows. How does the market grow? These markets will grow by consumers becoming aware & demanding these goods & services. That’s where you, my dear consumer, come in. So read on & learn how to make your world better while simultaneously making everyone’s world better. Win-win results are becoming within our grasp, & this site is about keeping you up to date on them. Here’s what I will build here in Tampa to make others aware of green hi-tech living, & to promote the business of whatever construction company has the expertise to do it. I’ve designed this house to survive our increasingly severe hurricane seasons. |
