Bringing 'Green' Into the Home
One of the first completely carbon-neutral houses in the US proves you can live a green lifestyle, as long as you're willing to pay the price.

The average home in the United States produces more than seven metric tons of carbon dioxide, or CO2, each year - just from electricity use. That adds up to around 17 percent of all the carbon emissions coming from the U.S. While Americans may want to live a "greener" lifestyle, many are unwilling to give up any of the modern conveniences that make a house a home. Now a new model home in suburban Washington, D.C. shows they can do both.

The design of this house is good.

It' s eco good.

When it is possible to live in this house, it is the highest.
