The latest issue of From House To Home featured Suzie Hall, LEED AP, ASID, and president of Cornerstone Design in an article about building and remodeling “green.”  It is something everyone needs to think about and begin to implement.

Suzie Hall is LEED accredited which is extremely important when designing or remodeling a project.  The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, developed by the U.S Green Building Council (USGBC), provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction.

Most of us know about the energy efficient appliances, but do we know about the myriad of other products that have a significant impact on our environment?  According to Hall, people are becoming aware of the significance of environmentally safe goods that have an effect on our families, communities, and planet! 

Becoming “green” is a change in principles and attitude.  I think we all want to be a part of the solution that helps to secure a greener future for our children and their children.  Cost may be an issue for some people, however, if you are thinking long-term it’s definitely affordable.

Hall says, “Creating a beautiful space is wonderful, but designing a healthy and beautiful space is much better.”  It certainly makes sense!
