Green Home Book of the Week: Off the Grid Homes

I read a massive amount of green home books, so I’ve decided to offer a green home book selection each week - one I like, that I think you’ll like too.

This week, I’m obsessed with this book I recently got from the library - Off The Grid Homes by Lori Ryker.

Pros:

1. Best luscious images ever. Every single home in this book is utterly beautiful.
2. I thought it offered a nice balance of advanced information along with text that newbies to off-grid living would understand as well.
3. Covers some very cool ideas that home owners can incorporate into their own homes, even if you’re not totally off-grid. Issues covered run from alternative energy to gray water to recycled materials and more.
4. Handy resource section with architects, designers, and builders.
5. Something nice about this green home book is that different area homes were discussed; it wasn’t all say desert homes, or NW homes, there was a nice variety. Often green home books seem to have a narrow location focus (not all of them - don’t jump me, but many).

Cons:

1. I don’t own it yet (sadness).

When you get this book open to page 60 stat! That’s my favorite house. You’ll adore this book. Check it out at your library, or get it for the green home lover on your holiday gift list.
