Why is Sustainable Housing Important?

We live in a fragile world with limited resources and growing environmental problems associated with greenhouse emissions and climate change, deforestation and the loss of old growth forests, decreasing biodiversity, pollution of ocean and inland waterways, to name just a few. Each of us has a moral responsibility to help minimise our impact on the environment. By making your home more sustainable you can make an important contribution towards that end.
