Biology Is Life !

wooo. im first

One of the featurs will be counters made out of recyacled glass. it would probably be cheaper to make, and we wont need large factories that release pollution into the atmosphere. i would probably not pay more. all of the materials r recyaled and/or cheap to se, so why would we have to pay more for cheaper stuff? i dont think these houses will reverse the effects of global warming, but they might be able to slow down the effects.i pick.....the bathroom. it has a special showerhead that uses less water. this owuld be good for the enviroment because less water would be wasted
 

1. The house features radiant floor heating. This is done by a machine called the Robur GAHP-AR Heat Pump. This machine is more efficient than conventional heating measures, it has reduced electric power consumption, and does not use water. This building is being used for residence rather than a pharmacy/deli/laundromat.

2. I don't think I would pay extra to live in a house like that one. It seems like it would cost a considerable amount more than a regular house with all the high-tech equipment that is being put into the house. If it was only about 10 or 15 thousand more, then I would consider it, but it seems like the extra cost would be more than that.

3. Before I answer this question, let me address the terminology of the question, which is stating two separate issues. The abnormal heating of the earth is not a proven fact, and probably not even true at all. From the beginning of time, the average earth temperature has been going down steadily, with fluctuations up and down. So right now, we are probably at an "up fluctuation," where the temperature will be higher than normal for a brief period, then drop down. So if there is really global WARMING, then why has the temperature been DROPPING steadily since the beginning of time. This graph shows the decrease in temperature over the past 65 million years.


So to answer the question, yeah, any time you make an effort to decrease energy use, it will probably help the environment. But, reverse the effects of a non-existant phenomenon...no.

4. I could use a better showerhead to use less water or some sort of timing mechanism to limit the amount of time spent in the shower.
 

They would use recycled plastics throughout the house. this house would be a good idea to have and it good really help stop pollution if people start using these houses. I dont know how much extra I would pay tio live in one but I would pay a bit extra to know that Im helping the environment. The bathrooms have special showerheads to save water, I would definitely use that because water isnt taken for granted a lot.
 

I like how sometimes people insert a wikipedia link, even though it's an unreliable source! HAHA
I wonder if I should only check (as oppose to check plus) them later on...
 

1. Photovoltaic panels will be used to provide electricity, which are very eco-friendly, and much better than the completely collapsed roof that had lead, mold, and other dangers.
2. I would pay extra to live in a house like that to help the environment.
3. I think they help to slow down the effects of global warming, and maybe ultimately start to reverse them.
4.We could install a recycling center in the kitchen and make it more convenitent to recycle.
btw i like that voki thing haha
 

one ecofriendly material the house will be made of is low-VOC-finished bamboo flooring. one green feature of the house are sorghum stalk kitchen cabinets. one change from the old building is that the new house will have recycled glass countertops.

it all depends on how much the house costs. If it cost just a bit more i would pay. i would pay extra because it helps the environemnt. too much would be around 20 thousand and up.

i believe that green building will hhelp reverse the effects of global warming but only if many people do it. if only a few people do it, then there wont be as much of a pronounced and effective effect on global warming.

in the bathroom, i could use a showerhead that uses less water, thus helping conserve water. limiting time spent in the shower will also help us stop wasting water.
 

one eco-friendly material the house will be made of is low-VOC-finished bamboo flooring. One of its green features is that it will use recycled materials throughout the house.. The old building was moldly and not good for the environment. Noiw it is making it's community a better place to live.

I would pay extra to live in a green house. Depending on my salary would be on how high is to high of a price but i think the house is a good investment to the environment and you.

I think green building will help reverse the effects of global warming. The more environmentally consious we are the better it is for globel warming. It probably could never replace everything that has already been destroyed but green building can not hurt.

I would use he shower head that uses a lot less water. I hate wasting water and if there was a way to conserve it I would love it do so.
 

The house has radiant floor heating and recycled glass countertops. The house uses less water than previously due to new showerheads, heating systems, etc.

If I had enough money to do so I would definitely pay more for the green house. The money would be going to a better cause- I could use it to help the environment instead of buying some useless crud that would end up in a landfill some day. How much extra I'd pay depends on what kind of salary I'm getting. Although I don't see why we're paying more for used stuff and things like solar power- what will come next? a tax on the sun?

If the majority of houses everywhere in the world were green, then there would be a significant slow-down of global warming. But, as we know, houses are only part of the problem- there's still cars and factories and airplanes and stuff like that.

In the kitchen, I was drawn to the recycling station... then I realized we already have that out in the garage. I also have a little recycling bin for papers in my bedroom (even though it's really an old litterbox... hey that's recycling too!)
 

1. One of the features would be radiant floor heating and another would be the sorghum stalk cabinets. This building used to be a combination of a deli, laundromat, and a pharmacy.

2. I do not think that at this point in time I would live in a house like that even if it costed extra. Maybe in the future when it becomes more common, I would not want to be the first person to live in one of the houses in case there is a flaw in the planning. I think that it would be too much when an additional 20 thousand is added.

3. I don't think that it will reverse the effects of global warming, but it may slow it down. There are so many additional things that are causing global warming that making "eco-friendly houses" will not reverse the issue.

4. For my house, we could use a special showerhead to limit the amount of water per person and the time in the shower. This would help to prevent wasting water.
 

1. One of the features is gonna be cabinets made of Kirei, which is a board made from sorghum stalks. This conserves the killing of trees in order to get timber. All you have to do is cut leaves, which doesnt kill the plant.

2. Yes i would definitly spend more money to live in a green house. One reason is because i can set an example for others to do things like me. Then everyone will want to buy one. I think that the most i would ever pay for a green house is 1 million dollars.

3. Yes and No. I think yes because it conserves a lot of polution that normal houses would make. No because not everyone is gonna buy a green house or be able to afford one.

4. I chose my bathroom. I think i can make many changes to my bathroom to conserve a lot of water. One way can be to use a different way to flush the toilet, because a normal toilet uses about 5 gallons of water per flush. Another way is to change the sinks so that they dont leak and waste water.
 

One of its green features is that it has radiant floor heating. An eco-friendly builing material used in this house is salvaged wood or bamboo. To maximize the homes’ conformity to LEED, the team upgraded the mechanical design to operate more efficiently and bring in more filtered fresh air.
I think I would pay extra to live in a green home because even though it may not seem like a big part I could be helping the environment around us. Plus, using all of the energy and water efficient stuff would save money down the road. I think that if you are paying like $60,000 more than to live in a regular house that it might be too much...but if you have that kind of money and you wat to put it to good use, not like buying a hummer for example, than why not???
I'm sure that green building would have a positive effect on our environment if everbody played a role but this would only be the first step...we still need to make a lot of improvements besides this one to slow down global warming. I don't really think we can "reverse" global warming because we have already done so much damage to the earth that i dont think everthing will recover.
I could recycle some of my electronical devices...i didnt know u could do that...instead of just throwing it away since they are some of the most toxic materials for the evironment.
 

One eco-friendly material of the houses was sorghum stalk (grass) used for kitchen cabinets. One change from the old building was that the original building was an apartment building and was a laundromat with a deli. I honestly don't feel that I would pay extra to live in a greenhouse. I care about the environment, but I just really couldn't see myself giving my money toward the conservation of plants. Any more than 5,000 dollars would be too much for me to spend on a green house when i could be remodeling a specific room in the house. It sounds harsh, but I'm being honest. I think green building could reserve the effects of global warming. With using materials and resources that are less harmful to the atmostphere, we would definitely be conserving energy and space if the materials are of a biodegradable composition. I picked the bathroom. If my family and I cut back on shower times, we could conserve more water and energy. That is definitely something that I could work on, but taking five minute showers is physically impossible.
 

1.
One eco-friendly material the house will be made of is
low-VOC-finished bamboo flooring
and one of the green features is sorghum stalk (grass) kitchen cabinets. One change from the old building is that the roof will be integrated photovoltaic panels which will be its main source of energy.



2.
Maybe if i had enough money to buy one i would. It would feel good that my house doesnt have a negative effect on the enviroment.
It would be too muchh when you cant even earn the amount of money in 10 years.



3.
Well once the building of the houses are done i dont think it will matter because the damage has already been done.

4.
My bathroom could be improved by trying to have my family shower for not as long and maybe we could buy a shower head that doesnt use soo much water.
 

1. one eco-friendly material the house will be made of is a hybrid solar thermal/gas-fired HVAC system. the kitchen cabinets are being changed into sorghum stalk cabinetd.
2.i really dont think that the price of the house should be more expensive then current homes, because since they are starting to build with more renewable resources it shouldnt be that expensive especially in heating it because of solar polar as opposed to oil.
3. it would definatley reverse the effect of global warming but one house isnt going to do all that much they should require all homes to be green homes.
4.i think taking shorter showers is a good way to cut down on water usage also finishing our basment to create more useful space rather than just storage would also be a good idea.
 

An eco-friendly material the house will be made of is low-VOC-finished bamboo flooring, and sorghum stalk (grass) kitchen cabinets instead of panels and bricks and that good stuff. I do not think I would pay extra to live in houses like this. Its not just the cost, its just that, I would prefer to live in a regular house. I think that "green building" will help reserve the effects of global warming depending on how many are used/made. I would pick the bathroom because it uses 60% less water than the normal shower head would use. It is alot better.
 

1.) one eco-friendly material the house will be made of is the recycled glass making up the kitchen counters. A change from the old building is the roof is being replaced with photovoltic panels.
2.) I don't think I would pay more to live in a green house. It would depend on how much money I had. Even if i don't live in a green house i will try to fix my own house in an attempt to solve global warming.
3.) I think green building will slow down the effects of global warming, but won't fully reverse it. More needs to be done than just building green.
4.) I could make my bathroom better by installing a showerhead that uses less water.
 

1.one eco-friendly material the house will be made of is low-VOC-finished bamboo flooring. One of its green features is that it will use recycled materials throughout the house.. The old building was moldly and no good for the environment. Now it is making its community a better place to live.
2.No i do not think that would pay extra money to live nin a house like that one. It seems to me like it would cost a lot of money, much more than a regualr house. The cost is way to much to live in a more envirermental friendly house.
3.Well i think it could go both ways...it would help i guess but for it to have a real impact all of the houses would have to be greenhouse. and then if you just look at the united states, it is a small fraction of the world. We could help slow down global warming but i dont think that there are many things that we can do. If everything was still greenware, we would still have cars polluting.
4.In the bathroom i could use a showerhead that uses less water. Sometimes i do think that i waste alot of water eventhough i take quick showers.
 

one eco-friendly material would be the recycled glass countertops and a green feature would be the sorghum stalk (grass) kitchen cabinets. One change from the old house is that the roof is being replaced with eco friendly panels.

no i wouldnt pay extra because i dont think it would be worth it. i think the price would be too high for me and if i wanted to fix a house i would fix it my way.

I do think that more houses will reverse the effects of global warning but i dont think people will pay for it because they are so expensive.

in my house i would try to take shorter showers and i would also use a high performance shower head.
 

the house will have radient floor heating as one of it eco-friendly materials. sure i would pay to live in a green house, its helping the enviroment even if im paying a little more. but not a huge amount more but a resonable price. i dont know if you can reverse the effects of global warming but green houses can postpone it getting worse. i can install a recycling thing into my cabinet so i will recycle more.
 

One feature of the house is that the new house would have low-VOC-finished bamboo flooring. This would be a major upgrade, since the old building (pharmacy, deli, and Laundromat) probably had un-reusable tile flooring. Since living in a greenhouse seems really beneficial, I'd totally go for it if I could, even if it meant paying a little extra. But I think too much would be paying double your regular house price. I doubt green building will instantly reverse the effects of global warming, since it's such a small contribution to such a ginormous problem. But probably, slowly and gradually, it could. In the kitchen, when remodeling, I could consider utilizing any extra space for other useful things.
 

1. one eco-friendly material the house will be made of is low-VOC-finished bamboo flooring and one of its green features are sorghum stalk kitchen cabinets.

2. I don't think i would want to pay extra for living in the green house but if i was rich then yeah i would definetly pay extra.

3. I don't think green building will help reverse the effects of global warming butit might help somewhat because this is not the only reason for global warming.

4. I pick my bathroom. I could use a showerhead that uses less water so that help save water and shorten time.
 

The new house will have bamboo floors. The photovoltaic panels will suply the house with electricity from the sun. The old building had electricity from non-renewable energy.
I would pay a bit extra for living in a green house because it is producing less emmisions and renewable.I would pay 15% more on the greener house.
I believe green building is only one of the many things that will have to change like transportation.
I could make my bathroom more green by replacing the old shower head with a high preformace modle that uses 60% less water.
 

1.One is radiant floor heating and the other is sorghum stalk cabinets.It use to be a deli and a laundromat.
2.I would probably not pay more for a green house. I think it would be cheaper.
3.I dont think they will be able reverse the effects. It might be able to slow down the process.
4. The room i chose is the bathroom. The reason is because it has a showerhead that lets you use less water. This can help because it can help us use less water that we can save.
 

good morning
:)
hj
 

1. They would use recycled plastics throughout the house.

2. I pay extra to live in this house because i want to help out the enviroment but i gotta live soo until im rich im livein in my house now.

3. I think these houses wil not ever reverse the damsge done just reduce future harm.

4. in the bathroom, i could use a showerhead that uses less water, so i can conserve water.
 

I think it is a good use a tech. I think it is moral. I would to get a pet back i think it is normal. One positive is if you lost a pet you were close to you can get it back.
 

One feature is the radiont floors. It use to have wood floors. No i think i like were i live. No i think it will take more than a house. I would cange the electric to solar.
 

one eco-friendly material would be the recycled glass countertops and a green feature would be the sorghum stalk (grass) kitchen cabinets. One change from the old house is that the roof is being replaced with eco friendly panels.
i think the price is right plus knowing im doing my part is worth the big bill. i dont think this will reverse the effects of gobal warming but may reduce future harm. i would have a recycling center in the kitchen as well as large picture windows and a rule of no lights on when the sun is out.
 

One of the eco-friendly feature is a hybrid solar-thermal/gas-fired HVAC system. One change from the old building is radiant flooring.

I would probably pay extra to live in a green house because i am all for a healtier world.

I believe that green homes will not reverse the affects of global warming because there is way to much damage already done to the atmosphere.


I can take shorter showers and use cooler water therefore Id save water and electricity.
