I am building a new home and am trying to do my part for saving the planet. It is a cord-wood home that would have been used for firewood. It has an earth roof that I made myself with the top soil from my own property, the cord-wood harvested from standing dead or dying trees, that will be off grid with windmill and solar power.

I own 10 acres and grow fresh fruit and veggies with no pesticides or herbicides. I am not certified organic, but for us as a family I know that the water I give to my plants is from my well that I drink, so it’s all good and healthy food! I’m trying to reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible by going green!
