Green Building Scam

The main reason I am starting this blog is to help homeowners make decisions about the homes they are getting ready to build or remodel.  Architects, Builders, Lumber yards, and designers all try to encourage you to buy specialty products to help with the environment,  or "Green Building".  The main problem is that most of the products out there are not truly "Green" and are not any better than normal products that cost half as much.  Green building is a great idea, but the problem is that it has become a way for large companies to make money.  If you build a house to today's green standards with all the new great products, you are going to have a very expensive home.  I would like to show people how to still build green without spending absurd amounts of money.  I will be reviewing products ie: plywoods, glues, roofing materials, heating system, flooring, drywall ect... to help you make your decision on what to use on your new home.  Also, I am a builder/designer myself, so if you have any questions with a project you are currently working on, please feel free to ask.
