With all the “Green” talk going on in the world today, Miss Green Home explains it this way: “On a scale of 1 to 10, you don’t have to be 10 to be green”. Green is about doing the most with what you have. Don’t’ allow money to intimidate you, going green is meant to decrease your consumption, maintain health, and conserve environmental resources. Miss Green Home believes by placing your focus on these elements, the overall quality of life will improve for your family.
Some examples of being green in your home are: Energy Efficiency, Water Conservation, Composting Organics, Improving Indoor Air Quality, and Recycling.
So in essence a “green home” is a home that increases the efficiency with sustainable resources such as energy, water, and materials while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment. Green building incorporates environmental considerations and resource efficiency into the development of the home building process to minimize the environmental impact.
