Instead of going to shop for new furniture every time you make a move visit one of the second-hand furniture stores or websites and buy already used furniture. The environment and your wallet will be appreciative.

- Zero Energy Building
Any building that does not consume any net energy from the outside grid. It may produce its own energy and even sell energy back to the grind. Buildings such as this use principles such as passive building design and well planned insulation and cross ventilation. These buildings are also well designed to fit the climates and specific sites they are built on.
