It’s no wonder that more and more people are going green and becoming ecologically conscious. A perfect example of living in a non-invasive manner is evident in the Green Power House, the quintessence of a green house, which showcases ways in which one can live comfortably in a non-invasive manner, specifically by using sustainable building methods, materials, energy, heating and water conservation.
Paddy Wallington astutely created a model “green” home. Not only fully equipped with the latest in eco-friendly technology, such as solar geysers and solar electricity, but also cleverly installed rain water tanks (which irrigate the entire garden), as well as a chemical-free pool (which is void of carcinogen substances) among other resourceful processes.
The Green Power House provides opportunities for facials, acupuncture, lifestyle coaching, as well as a variety of massage options and reflexology to name but a few. The Green Power House considerably reduces the cost which an average household would display by saving a tremendous amount on power and electricity – an estimated 60% of your average electricity bill for an average household.
The solar electricity system provides six hours of power for the lights (not including dishwashers, washing machines, and so on) as well as eight hours for laptop usage, independent of Eskom power.
Keeping with the natural feel of the home, all wall surfaces are painted with Envirotouch’s ProNature range. This range offers 100% environmentally sound treatments and contains only natural elements with no harmful emissions.
The Green Power House not only allows freedom from the day to day hassles and frustrations of municipal utilities but always provides peace of mind. The Green Power House is truly an inspiration in what one can achieve if genuinely concerned about the state of the planet.
