GREEN HOMES ARE AFFORDABLE

It's expensive to operate a home.  Here are some "GREEN facts" about real estate and your surroundings:

> 1,700 sq. ft wood-frame house requires the equivalent of 1 acre of forest timber

> Indoor air quality can be as much as 100 times worse than outside air quality according to the US EPA

> The energy that seeps through U.S. windows each winter is the equivalent of all the oil that flows through the Alaska pipeline each year

> Your refrigerator is responsible for a quarter of your electricity bill.  The icebox uses 7% of the nation's electricity.  That is half the energy generated by the nation's nuclar power plants
