My last blog post is about building houses but using Eco friendly housing tools and materials. I was looking for a good article on this because in today's society I think that we should do whatever we can to make our houses Eco friendly and to help save the earth in any way possible. I found the article on National Geographic and it just goes over some materials you can use to help build your "green" house instead of a regular home. On the side of the article, are more articles talking about Eco friendly clothing, packaging, paint and other items. The article below explains it all !

I've heard of ecofriendly housing. For example, using bamboo, green cleaning supplies, and energy efficient technology like solar panels. My only critique for these is how expensive these methods and what is the cost to produce or use these products. If we changed to using bamboo we may overuse this resource. Not many people can afford solar panels. I definitely believe if solar panels where affordable most people would transfer over to that type of energy.
ReplyDeleteAgain with what Sheeba was saying, if i owned my own home, I would totally have solar panels, again if they were affordable. Untill then, while living on campus I will continue to reduce my carbon footprint by turning off the water,electricity. etc.... when not needed.! Great article Alex!
