For those with the means — time to step up to the plate.

Here’s How To:

  1. Contact a local Green Builder
  2. Priority 1 — Become a zero carbon (ZC) household (putting the onus on the utility company to be ZC): go all-electric — heating, appliances, range, cars, etc. Improve insulation, doors, windows.
  3. Priority 2 — Become as close to Zero Energy as possible: generate your own power and heating, typically with a photovoltaic array (simplest and most cost effective)
  4. Consider ride sharing for commutes (check apps)
  5. For new homes see the concept below (from Jeffrey’s building days — 2015 pricing)
