These decisions are based on values, and the author posits that there are really only three reasons to go green: For Our Health: By building more sustainably, we reduce our exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins. For Our Wealth: By building a more durable home and being more efficient with resources like water and electricity, we reduce our monthly utility bills and ongoing maintenance expenses. For Our Soul: Collectively doing the right thing for our planet does make a difference-and that is soul-nourishing. The green building movement has produced hundreds of "how-to" books and websites that are filled with tips about green building and what homeowners should do to go green. While helpful and informative, when it comes to making actual purchasing and installation decisions, these books do not make it any easier for a homeowner to prioritize against a budget. Here, Melissa Rappaport Schifman shares her knowledge and experience for others to use in their journey toward a greener way of living. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Ecological houses|xDesign and construction. 650 0 Ecological houses|xEconomic aspects. 650 0 Sustainable architecture. 650 0 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System|xEconomic aspects. 700 1 Fisher, Thomas,|ewriter of foreword. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13638508?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781705284216_180.jpeg
