Other Ways To Live Sustainably

After researching about what sustainable living was, we decided to find out about alternatives to the outdoor , natural way of sustainable living.
While searching using Google , we found a home builders' website called www.clarum.com that mentioned a house called the Enviro-Home : 'The Enviro-Home features products and systems that reduce energy consumption, encourage conservation, and use recycled or sustainable resources. Being part of the solution is of utmost importance to Clarum. Therefore, the Enviro-Home
features are standard features in every home built by Clarum Homes'.
