Eco-Friendly Mansion
The mind behind Google goes green with plans for a new mansion.
March 23, 2009
Google co-founder Larry Page is about to redefine the word “greenhouse” with plans to build a 6,000 square-foot eco-friendly home on his property in Palo Alto, Calif. The 35-year-old billionaire will build his new residence using recycled and low-volatile organic compound materials, complete with solar panels, a rooftop garden, and Earth-approved pavement and paths. All of these low-carbon features will help him earn credit toward Green Point Certification. While the term “eco-friendly mansion” could be considered an oxymoron, it would certainly be nice to see more blueprints take on such a green hue. And if you‘re looking for budget-friendly tips on how to make your home more eco-friendly, we‘re sure Google has an answer for you!
