Adopting Green Technologies: Sustainable home design

We live in a day and age where we can choose to incorporate green energy resources right at home – reducing waste, emissions and lowering our carbon footprint. From sustainable building materials like bamboo and recycled metal, to waste reducing appliances like ultra-low flush toilets, the future is full of possibilities. Not only are these possibilities green and have less of an impact on our planet, but the design options are epic too!

In the world's conversation about energy, one point is beyond debate: Energy makes a vital contribution to people's quality of life, to society and to human progress. This is true today, and it will remain true in the future. That's why Energy Matters was created. We believe it's important to equip people with unbiased information so they may form opinions, join the conversation and feel confidence in the work and accomplishments of the energy sector. Energy Matters is an initiative that provides transparent information and perspective on energy. Here, we'll cover a range of topics: the scale of global energy; the ways energy is sourced and produced; current energy technology; forthcoming innovations; the world's future energy needs; and the sustainable sources of energy that will fill them. Because energy matters to everyone, we hope you'll rely on Energy Matters as an ongoing source of balanced information.
