There is no doubt that choosing to build eco friendly homes can help protect the environment. The home is a big offender when it comes to carbon emissions because of the building materials used in construction and also the ongoing fuel consumption used to heat and cool the house. If each and every house did a little bit more to protect the environment that would add up to a lot of help and would significantly reduce carbon emissions across the world. If you want to find out what building materials should be used to build houses instead of the traditional bricks and cement then you should read on. Here you will find out how you can build a environmentally friendly home.

How many days a month do you have to work just to pay your electricity bill? What could you do with that time or money if you did not have to use it to pay for your electricity?

Brainstorming is a great way to develop creative options. Don’t discuss or debate any ideas during the brainstorming session, simply let the ideas flow, make a list, and go from there.

If you are a keen enthusiast on environment protection, you can be sure of unsustainable power supplier. If you are ready for a little alteration of your life style you will be a real success. The first and foremost will be the solar panels. If you are living in a place where the solar rays are plenty and your roof can support the installation of solar panels you are the appropriate person for this. If you can balance the consumption of power from the grid and from the solar panels, there are avenues that you can feed back some of your excess power back to the grid. They will reward you for this gesture.

The fact is that you can come off the grid and you can even sell your surplus, home-made electricity back to the grid. This is not likely to make you a lot of money, but it is a lovely feeling after only paying out for decades. However, the savings of life off the grid do not end there. There are ecological savings and the saving of human life too.

Number three would have to be hydropower. Did you ever notice when water is flowing downhill it becomes a powerful force. The water is a renewable resource that is constantly being recharged by the global cycles of precipitation and the consequent evaporation. Here we find our old friend the sun, and the sun’s heat is busily causing the water in lakes and oceans to evaporate and then you see the clouds. Later on it rains or snows and the water comes back down to the earth. Once back on the earth, it gathers together into streams and rivers and begins the journey back to the ocean. While the water is flowing, it can power water wheels and drive mechanical processes. When it is busy forcing the turbines and generators to turn it will generate electricity. Hurrah for flowing waters.

The problem is that we humans are burning, churning and polluting our way through a finite fuel source. What if, on the other hand, we got handed to us a viable energy source that doesn’t stink up the place?

On an average a man consumes 60000 to 80000 litters of water in his lifetime. Body of a human contains 40 to 50 litres of water at given time. Human body is anywhere from 55% to 78% water depending on body size.
