Response #9 Tropic Green House

Well, first off from seeing the site, I don’t think one would need a house like that in the Caribbean. Its warm enough that all you need is a small shack. This site seems to be seeking an audience that is rich and has money to spend on lavish get away homes in the tropics. It is nice to know that there are houses available that would help preserve the natural beauty of the are though. By using solar power, of which there is a lot of in the Caribbean, there is no harm whatsoever to the environment except in what may occur while building the house. Which I’m guessing is the main point of the houses. It’s just that you would have to visit there often enough to make it worth while or move there. The site proposes to build better, more efficient homes, while providing work to the local people. All in all, the website itself seems pretty effective. It claims to provide efficient houses in tropical areas while supporting the local economy. All of these are good intentions in their on right. They have sponsors, which is nice, but I’m failing to see how much it would cost to build your own house down there. I’m going to guess it’s a fair amount.
