Build or Buy Green!
When you consider buying or building your next home, think Green. It is important to continue our environmental commitment and social responsibility in all aspects of our life. With more companies making an environmental commitment, it has never been easier to work with an Eco-Friendly company.
If the direction you decide to go in is building, find a building contractor who will follow the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Homes Program . You can locate a “green building” professional through the Green Building Professional Directory. Just walking around new and established neighborhoods in Arlington VA, you will see many Eco-Friendly Builders, either starting new home builds or renovating older homes.

It is indeed a good thing that “green homes” are becoming more common. Especially when you are building a new home you have all the opportunity in the world to really make it as eco friendly as possible.
If possible, try to go green right from how you do landscaping to what kind of heating system you install.
