house if you haven't
a tolerable planet to put it on?"
Henry David Thoreau

SOLAR HOT WATER
The cost of heating water accounts
for approximately 20 per cent of the energy that is used in most
homes. Solar water heating systems are usually designed to supply
an average household with 30 to 60 per cent of this energy.
Install a solar water heating system to reduce your energy bill
and your impact on the environment.

RAINWATER HARVESTING
Rainwater is extremely rich
in nutrients. Using rainwater to irrigate will reduce fertilizer
use. No chemicals have been added to rainwater. A rainwater
harvesting system reduces water bills including city storm sewer
charges, alleviates demand on municipal systems, and allows you to
avoid strict city watering schedules

RADIANT FLOOR
HEATING
Radiant systems have low
emissions, so they are cleaner, producing fewer greenhouse gasses.
And most of these systems can be assisted by solar energy - reducing
your dependence on electricity and fossil fuels.
