Green homes are buildings or houses that actively choose to participate in reducing their exposure to pollutants, decrease their environmental footprint, all while offering a non-toxic, energy-efficient, small-carbon-footprint place they can call their home.Many experts agree that investing in a green home is the panacea of environmentally friendly healthy living. It creates a living space with clean air and lower energy bills. Most importantly it supports companies and products that cause the least harm to our planet.
