Eco-Friendly Homes: More Buck for Your Green Bang?

A modular green house

It looks like adding green features to your home, like low- and no-VOC paints, high-efficiency heating systems, water filtration, solar panels, and myriad other healthy options can be a boon if you’re looking to sell (good to keep in mind if you’re thinking of renovating!)

Hey, even the celebs are doing it! (I know that’s what is going to change your mind, right? LOL)

I think that house is pretty cool, why on earth would anyone want to block it biuing built? That just makes my head spin. If I were richer I’d love to build an EarthShip. That’s my dream home.
