When I previously thought of green living in green homes, I must admit that I envisioned farmer Bob and his wife Nancy in Sears overalls, refueling their VW bus (with the Woodstock Festival sticker still on the back bumper) with a solar and grease powered organic garden bed and power generator. That might be a tad too reminiscent of a Little House on The Prairie episode morphed in a fever dream with one from Gilligan’s Island. But green living in a luxury home – I’m in!
