Joey Mines, long time sustainable activist, is breaking ground on his ‘green’ house in early 2010. The home will be constructed of earth-friendly materials and contain energy saving appliances. We will chronicle the construction of his home — and give you tips — as well as some useful information about environmentally-friendly products along the way.

Joey will be telling you all about the installation and energy and gas-saving benefits of the items used, as well as information about his homes location at The Settings of West Point Lake, located in LaGrange, Georgia, just 60 miles south of Atlanta.

You can learn about the homes environmental architect, Johnna Barrett, who creates green and sustainable home plans at www.SUSTAINhouse.com.
