My wife and I loved this video and it was the defining information that showed us we can build our new home healthy and cost effective at the same time.
Even if you are not building a new home… there are lots of great tips and ideas to make your current home more healthy and better in tune with the planet.
It covered everything in short segments that made it easy to understand and it did a pretty good job of showing the work, the time involved as well as costs comparisons with traditional building processes.
Our only real complaint was that it spent too much time reviewing and repeating things that had already been covered. I suppose that’s needed in a series that was originally aired weekly, but the time could have much better been spent on the electrical and plumbing aspects that were only breezed over.
If you know little to nothing about green building and it’s possibilities… this is a perfect place to get the basics in a well organized start to finish process.

The ideas are great, however I wouldn’t put “green” in the title. Some of the choice of materials isn’t green, but what bothered me the most is the size of the house that was built as green. You can’t build a castle and still call it green! The use of steal and concrete isn’t green either.
It wasn’t all bad. There was some useful information so I gave it 2 stars.
