Home, Green Home

courant.com | Home, Green Home: "When Peter and Nellie Rabinowitz of Bethany decided several years ago that they wanted an environmentally sensitive home, they had a hard time finding somebody to build one.

Builders said, 'We've heard of that, but nobody does it around here. Everybody wants a big house with as many square feet as possible, and they don't care about sustainable or energy efficient or anything like that,' said Peter Rabinowitz.

Things have changed. Green buildings - energy-sipping and Earth-friendly - are increasingly appealing. And they don't have to be goofy looking."
