There are quite a few things that we (or anyone) can do to be green. Obviously doing everything is expensive and not always practical. Below is a list of things we want to do within our house. If you have any ideas let us know. Cost is always a concern, but we are creative in finding funding.
Things to do:
- Rain Garden
- Green Roof
- Solar Panels (we wont give up)
- Composting Units
Some of these are more feasible than others. The rain garden and composting units are probably very possible right now and the green roof would fall next, with the solar panels falling last because of funding.
The rain garden may actually make an appearance later this week and the compost units by the end of the school year.
As far as the green roof and the solar panels those will depend on funding. With the green roof we need a structural architect to assess the roofs and get us a weight that they can hold and then get a quote on materials. The solar panels cost a rediculous amount and may not be likely for some time.
