| Our green home utilizes renewable energy
sources and building materials as well as superior insulation.
We are trying to reduce toxins in our home by using materials
that have been processed without formaldehyde, do not contain
vinyl, have low volatile organic compounds, were processed
using less overall energy than their commercial counterparts,
and are natural vs. synthetic. We have implemented a water
recycling system. Limited exposure to synthetic chemicals will
help us to maintain our overall health as well as reduce the
potential for Tyler to develop asthma and/or allergies.
