See more detail | | New Ecological Home
Shelter, like many elements of human existence, comes at an extraordinary cost to our planet and its inhabitants. Nearly 60% of all timber cut in the United States is used to build 1.2 million new houses per year. Construction wastes - and the staggering amounts of electricity, water, and nonrenewable products consumed in the day-to-day operation of the modern household - add to the massive drain on Earth's natural resource base. In addition to environmental costs, there are personal economic costs - the thousands of dollars homeowners spend each year to heat, cool, and power their homes. Today, a new generation of architects and builders is emerging, intent on constructing homes that cost a fraction of the environmental impact of conventional housing.
