Going Green in Michigan
Thursday, March 11th, 2010Have you heard the news! Green real estate is getting lots of buzz. More and more homebuyers are looking for ways to increase their green footprint. They are looking for that perfect home and yard that will give them eco-luxury. Going Green in Saugatuck, Douglas, Glenn Michigan is happening as we know it.
Not only are we worried about our cleaning supplies being green, but now we want our homes to be green also. Homes with amenities like Gammpar floors, LEED-certified building materials, double-paned windows and even docking stations for electric cars! Also, homes that boast features like rainwater harvesting, passive air ventilation, reclaimed fixtures and recycled content tile and flooring.
This may all seem very over-whelming, but there are a lot of sites on the web that will help you fully understand just what finding a “green” home entails.
