Green home building Thoughts
When many people think of green home design, they think about the cost of such construction. I partially agree with that idea. I think that many times, people get so wrapped up in going green that they ignore fine structures in order to build “better” structures. Their heart is in the right place, but it doesn’t make much sense to me.
In my mind, green home design shouldn’t be limited to new construction. Greenness should be promoted in your current 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. I don’t like when stores move into greener malls and plazas, and then the old buildings sit for years until they are finally neglected to the point where they are torn down. So much money and space could have been saved if someone had just come in and updated the existing structure. rsssaturn.com
My point here is that sometimes, it’s better to revitalize existing structures and make them as green as possible than to construct new buildings and let the old ones waste away. Green home design doesn’t mean building a new home. Green home design means building greenness in your current one. http://greenhomedesigns.blogspot.com/
