Dan Orzech's Green Home
Dan Orzech shows Pierre his new home, built as a Green, sustainable home design. Many Japanese style elements were used as part of this beautiful dwelling on the banks of the Schuylkill River near Phoenixville Pennsylvania.
Geothermal heating and cooling, passive solar design, radiant-floor heating, natural clay products, pre-fabricated basement wall panels (structurally integrated or "SIP" panels) and an innovative hot tub (made of a simple concrete cylinder) are all part of this wonderful home.
Now is the Time
There is a restoration happening everywhere. Pierre invites you to action for your highest aspirations for a better world. In the affairs of humanity there is a tide of possibility, seen in places like the Global Marshall Plan, the Millennium Promise, and Green Design.
May you act now for the purpose of a new common ground with all people, goodwill towards all life, and the better world we have always dreamed of.
