Usually when I ask people why or what it means to have a green home I get a response similar to this:

"The reason for having greener homes is really quite important. We need to live more lightly on the earth, because the destruction of our environment is compromising not only our survival, but to the survival of most living things on the planet. The way we live, and the choices we make, have an enormous influence on the quality of life of those who will follow us, so you should."

But I am much more interested to hear on a more personal level from others what having a green home really means to them. So... What does it mean to you?
