Why build Green? This is good question; just talking about the environment will not answer that.
Why Green?
Some of the information included is this quote.
• 36% of total energy use
• 65% of electricity consumption
• 30% of greenhouse gas emissions
• 30% of raw materials use
• 30% of waste output (equal to 136 million tons annually)
• 12% of potable water consumption
• A typical 1700 sq. ft wood frame home requires the equivalent of clear cutting one-acre of forest
This last quote I find really important to understand, we need wood for more important reasons then having a roof on our heads, just Oxygen as an example.
FYI: The products from our sponsored company http://www.Plasmacor.com uses no Wood or needs any Water, is very energy efficient, and low costs on transportation, a real Zero Carbon Emission product.
There are answers, and we intend to bring them!
