Is building appropriate

Costliness is usually the first word associated with green home building. I partially agree with that idea. Frequently, people neglect perfectly good structures to build better ones in an attempt to go green. They are trying, but don’t think it through.



In my mind, green home building shouldn’t be limited to new construction. You should try to promote greenness in your present home. An example of this includes better insulation to reduce energy consumption. I agree with the idea of being green, but not with the idea of being wasteful in the name of greenness. In my town, a large store went out of business and a difference large store was built. The building that the first one was in was perfectly fine, relatively new, etc., but the new supermarket had to demolish acres and acres of trees to build a new plaza next to the old one. Now they are constantly advertising their greenness. Hmm…



Anyway, my point is that sometimes, it’s better to revamp existing structures and make them as green as possible than to construct new buildings and let the others sit and rot. Green home building is not building a brand new home. Green home building means building greenness in your current one. Visit.
