"Everything is connected...no one thing can change by itself" - Paul Hawken

Sustainable architecture, also known as green building or natural building, is one of the most significant ways we can contribute to our future. The basic concept is that we choose materials and methods that are abundant, non-toxic, energy efficient, and kind to the earth. Very simple things like providing natural daylight, cross ventilation in rooms, using landscaping that is indigenous are small things that can make a world of difference in the design and health of our buildings.
