How much would it cost to build a very sustainable home?
Question by Adrian: How much would it cost to build a very sustainable home?
so i was just thinking of what kind of home i’d like when i grow up and i obviously want one that gets energy through renewable resources such as solar power, wind, and geothermal maybe. my question is how much it would be to build a new house with all this installed and also with good insulation and also the house be a passive solar system. and if someone could answer this too, is it possible to build a house anywhere you want? and also grow food by yourself?
Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!

Yes, you can build a house almost anywhere you want and you can grow food by yourself; but, this all depends on your level of dedication to those particular tasks as they will require a great deal of time and fortitude. As far as the green house goes, you can do some research on people who have built green houses. From what I have seen you’ll spend about 30% – 50% more on a green house versus a regular one.
