 This environmentalist's dream is located in Los Angles area called Crestwood Hills. Here are some of the WIRED LivingHomes features: First of all, the house is min 75% recycled from an old structure that used to stand there before. 4-kw SunPower solar power system; forced hot air radiant heating and cooling system; recycled glass countertops; Heath ceramic tile in the master bathroom; low-maintenance high-design ecological kitchen cabinetry by Valcucine; environmentally friendly washer/dryer system by Bosch; water-efficient fixtures by Toto; windows and doors constructed with recycled glass and aluminum by Fleetwood USA; reclaimed redwood by Pacific Heritage Wood; FSC-certified exterior siding; LED lighting (uses less energy than conventional lighting); tank less water heaters; and carbon offsets to cover the home's first year of use. (Source: www.treehugger.com) The Wired Home is built by Steve Glenn and is 36% more efficient than a residence of the same size. Even the car is environmentally friendly!
The all new BMW Hydrogen 7 emits nothing but water vapor.
Now that's what I call a complete deal! You can actually tour this wonder house, tickets cost $35 BUT a percentage from your ticket purchase will benefit Global Green USA which is an organization that fights for solution for global warming, and Enterprise which is a n organization that creates environmentally sustainable homes for low income communities.
