We believe passionately that each of us has to do our part to create a healthy planet. And our homes provide one of our biggest opportunities to do just that.
They consume vast amounts of energy, not just in heating and cooling, but in every step of their construction, from how and where the timber framing is harvested and treated to the bulb in an accent lamp. In fact, home construction contributes more to global warming than transportation! So all the choices we make when siting, building and furnishing our homes add up.
With these pages, we'd like to help you make good choices that advance the creation of healthy, earth-friendly homes.
