An eco-friendly or "green" house incorporates various attributes and technologies to reduce its environmental impact. This includes using solar panels, driving an electric vehicle, growing a vegetable garden, improving insulation, and installing water storage tanks, low-flow showers, and composting toilets. More advanced eco-friendly houses can also utilize ground source heat pumps, rain water collection, heat recycling ventilation, multi-fuel burning stoves, and solar windows. The document discusses why individuals should embrace green lifestyles by highlighting the positive impacts on health, cost savings, and quality of life while also helping the environment.

2. WHY SHOULD I “GO GREEN” ?
 The truth is that everything single thing we do every day has
an impact on the planet -- good or bad.
 The good news is that as an individual, you have the power to
control most of your choices and, therefore, the impact you
create. From where you live to what you buy or eat, and use
to light your home to where and how you vacation, to how you
shop or vote, you can have global impact.
 Embracing a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to
preserve equatorial rain forests, it can also mean improving
your health, reduce spending (especially in the long term),
and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life. All that
and you can save furry animals, too.
 Why wouldn't anyone want to green?
