What do you think can be done to make homes greener?

Benefits of Eco-Friendly Home
There are several green building advantages including but not limited to the following:

Energy Efficient: This is by far the greatest benefit of an eco-friendly house. Building an energy-efficient home by utilising natural energy sources like solar panels, wind energy etc. can increase the energy efficiency of your home.
Lower Maintenance: Low-maintenance things are always the natural preference. The same goes for your own home. Constructing an eco-friendly home with materials that last longer can help you build low-maintenance homes. Further, they have very less harmful effects as compared to regular homes.
Lowers Carbon Footprint: Carbon footprint means the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere through your interactions and actions. As carbon is one of the primary gases behind global warming, climate change, and depletion of the ozone layer, therefore, it is important to reduce the carbon footprint. Building an eco-friendly house reduces your carbon footprint which ultimately benefits the environment at large.
Cost Effective: Building an eco-friendly home is a very cost-effective solution. If you use recycled materials, then it results in lower costs. Further, being energy-efficient homes results in a lot of savings in terms of energy costs.
Better Indoor Air Quality: Indoor air quality is responsible for regulating your overall mood. If you are going to spend most of your life in the home that you build, then why not build a great one? In constructing an eco-friendly house, chemicals are used in relatively lower quantities. This ensures that your indoor air quality is good and pure, thereby leading to good health and a better mood.
