Ideal Eco-Nomic Home

My dream is to have a house that is contemporary while being kind to its environment as well as to my pocket. To be able to Reuse, Reduce and Recycle as much as possible. I want to be able to give life to things once again whether in an esthetic way or a practical way. I desire to have a zero CO2 foot print and generate as much energy as possible while using it wisely. I wish to draw inspiration from others and to become an inspiration to others.
