One must note that not all "green" homes are really green. It seems that the trendy word used now is "green" and with the current real estate market softening everywhere, realtors, developers and homeowners are getting "creative" with words that might help draw attention to their home(s) for sale. We at Listed Green call this the real estate "green washing machine". Listed Green battles this problem by two ways. 1) By only listing green,energy efficient, sustainable homes and developments (worldwide) 2) By personally reviewing each listing to ascertain that they are green and energy efficient. We like to see a least a couple of innovative, energy saving components in homes. Some have more than others. One of the important ways that we as a planet can really make a difference in our carbon footprint of daily living, is to implement energy saving and resource saving products in our homes overall construction and it's living environment. Here are a few starters: * Thermal Solar Hot Water * Solar Electricity * Recycled Cotton Insulation * Soy Bean-based Spray Foam Insulation * Recycled Counter Top Materials * Energy Efficient Fireplaces * Eco-Furniture * Low VOC Paint * Radiant Flooring * Recycled Wood Floors * Energy Saving Windows * Eco-water Treatment * Bamboo Cabinets Remember, homeowners and developers can make a huge impact on our environment, by making wise choices in building and remodeling our homes. And now they can really showcase these homes in an internet platform that embraces innovative, energy efficient technologies.
