Eco Homes 101

Aarti asked:


My daughter has completed her 12th. She is keen to do Teacher’s training. But she is not sure how would that be vis-a-vis
other professional courses as far as salary and perks are concerned. I feel it will be a comfortable job for her, which also included 2 months of paid leave and suitable timings. She had taken Humanities (History, Psychology, Eco, English and Home Sc) in 12th. Which other courses would be good for her?

I need a name that has an available url. Every time I think of a name, the web address is taken. I plan to help people figure out how they can save money by making their current home and lifestyle more energy efficient and eco-friendly.

Any ideas?

Will creating an organic garden or using eco-friendly paints on my home help with it’s value? I want to do some improvements but keep along the idea of things better for the environment. Are there woods that aren’t chemically treated for floors or building a deck?

So, Al gore FINALY made his house eco-friendly…. “Earth in the balance” has been out for what 8 years? Did it really take that long for him to make the changes needed? And it is strange how it coincided with a report showing his home being one of the largest users of electricity and gas in his state.

So what took Gore so long to practice what he preaches?

And notice at the end the people praising him are the people that have Gore on their board of directors…

Very…. Convenient…
BTW my problem is not that he wants to “protect” the enviroment. My problem is he preaches and accuses others of destroying the planet while he himself causes “damage”.

Please share all websites you know that are good for the Environment/ Support renewable energy. Have tips on living Eco-frindly lifestyles or building homes and buildings that would qualify as “Sustainable Archictecture”.

The bite is about 3″ from the bottom part of my ankle bone. It is red, swollen, and painful. It even hurts to walk on this leg. The area feels hot to the touch. I noticed the mosquito bite about 2 days ago. I scratched it once or twice, but not excessively. About one month ago, something similar happened on my forearm, but this reaction is much worse. I am concerned that I am allergic, if not worse. I am thin, and you can’t even see my ankle anymore. I got the bite while out of town, just as the first one was acquired while at Mt. Rainier (different eco system from my home). Just wondering if anyone has had this experience, and/or advice. Thanks for your time!

I am looking at replacing all my houselhold carpets with totally natural carpets and underlay. I am trying to make my home totally Eco friendly but primarily chemical free for the sake of my children. Does anyone know where you can buy natural carpets and underlay that are totally green and chemical free. Thanks

The person that we are buying a log cabin home from can’t remember what was used for sealent on the exterior. We want to find out what was used so we can use the same product. He thought it might have started with “eco-something” or “ego-something” or “eagle-something.” Does anyone know if there is one out there that starts with “eco,” ego,” or “eagle” as the product or brand name? Apparently, it was popular for West Coast log homes…

Thanks!
