“I’ve been on a journey to reduce my family’s impact since seeing the film Inconvenient Truth in 2006, and even started and ran a local non-profit to help create a sustainable community. And became active in many other ways as well. But now I feel that any emissions is contributing to the problem, and have a bit of guilt about it. I need to get closer to zero; I want to lead by example. So, I decided to start a hub for those interested in creating a zero-emission home.
