A Natural & Healthy House is a combination of elements working together - a holistic approach: energy efficient using solar passive design (situated and elements placed to take advantage of nature's heat or cooling) and renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind; the efficient use of space and resources with like elements placed together; environmentally responsible use of water and waste; and contains indoor plants to assist in air purification.
This site discusses solar and wind power; alternative building methods such as log, straw bale, adobe and rammed earth houses; indoor plants; landscaping creating microclimates; site planning; sustainable community development and architects resources; building fences and barns; composting toilets; fireplaces; pure water, wastewater and grey water alternatives.
The Country Kitchen and Frugal Lifestyle sections provide information on the holistic approach to a healthy house, and a Natural Living Chat Room is accessible via the Site Headings Index.

These elements and styles of natural efficient buildings all work together in providing a sanctuary, an environmentally responsible home or office that is healthy and harmonious with its surroundings.
