New Sustainable Homes: Designs For Healthy Living by James Grayson Truelove (Collins Design) addresses the question as to what makes a home sustainable by presenting a wide range of projects where the homeowners have made an effort to incorporate eco-conscious design and materials.

The result of this effort is then a home that is less toxic, less expensive to operate, and often gives back to the environment rather than taking away. Also, we can’t forget about great design.
