Renewable Energy for the Home

Change the name?

Annie Deighnaugh
11 years ago

On the building forum, a poster posted there about insulation and windows as they thought this forum was for renewable energy only.

Should we recommend they change the name to something more inclusive such as Green Building or Greening Your Home or Energy Efficient Design?

Perhaps we can change the quote as well. I'll suggest this:

What is the use of a house if you don't have a decent planet to put it on?

--Henry David Thoreau

What does anyone else think? Any other suggestions?
