How is urban CoHousing good for the environment?


There are certifications you can go for to give you a clear indicator that you're on the right path

There is the LEED certification you could aim for if your unsure but it's definitely not the end all be all.

It stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and it's a green building certification program used worldwide. But in general you can spend a little bit more money to be environmentally friendly.

If you spend the money on green energy you could even end up saving money on utilities or paying your utility company. It's all up to you.

If you're reusing and recycling, there could be savings through that as well. Maybe you make it a mission to only furnish your common house second hand. And honestly with wood working stuff you could get really quality stuff second hand if you know what to look for


Until next time 😎
