I am all for "going green" and hope the trend continues. Would be nice to see a house getting 80%-100% of its energy from solar/wind, water from a spring, stream, or well, have an electric car, and while I am at it, a large garden for some truly local food. Apparently Fritz Haeg agrees with some of my ideas, especially the home garden. Check out Edible Estates which gives some pointers and real life stories of people living the gardening dream.
