Check out La Casa Verde, a wind-powered home in San Francisco, California. This home was built in the sunny Mission District as part of the Sunset Magazine Idea House Program.
In the 4,800 square foot residence filled with the latest green home features, there’s a spa, entertainment area along with other traditional rooms of a normal house.
This green home is a great example and probably extreme for most budgets, but if you want to green your house with a small budget then check out these affordable solutions: replace your shower heads with this low flow (1.5 gpm) yet powerful Waterpik EcoFlow Shower Head and pick up a few of these Smart Strips that turn off the power of energy sucking devices in standby mode!
Greenware food service drink cups are perfect for cold drinks like an iced-mocha from your favorite coffee shop. I was recently visiting San Francisco and ran across these cups made from PLA biopolymer, a resin derived entirely from plants at the San Francisco Coffee Roasting Co.
As you can see they’re crystal clear, durable like plastic cups and not susceptible to flavor or odor transfer. I wish more fast food and coffee shops would start using these Greenware products!
