They host contests regularly so you’ll have a chance to win lots of green goodies at some point.

Jetson Green
Jetson Green is one of the best websites around if you love reading about sustainable homes. They cover that area well and you can find all different types of homes on the website.

Then just like some of the other great websites on the list there is a lot of information about green technology. When you combine everything together you’ll come out the other end with a home that won’t harm the planet.
Everything you need
Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration to get started and these websites will give you a great starting point. Don’t feel like you need to change everything about your home in one fell swoop, but start with a few basic things and see where it takes you. The environment will thank you and you’ll feel better about yourself too.
