Building green in New Mexico

Building a sustainable home in Taos is ideal, with 300 days of sunshine a year and a community of builders skilled at providing "alternative systems" you can make your green dream come true. We have compiled a few websites that will help you go green. Most existing homes can be upgraded to conserve some sort of energy. You may think about putting a water catchment system in to conserve water for our garden or maybe you want to take advantage of the solar tax credit and have your meter run backwards for a change. You can even upgrade your appliances to energy efficient models. Living green can also save you money, if you build a passive solar house you have the opportunity to never have a heating bill again!  So check out how easy it is to be green.
