Chicago Magazine: 5 Eco Friendly Homes for Sale
Today is the 54th anniversary of Earth Day, an annual event that promotes support for environmental protection. One of the best ways to help our planet is to create and construct more sustainable designs as well as use environmentally friendly, recyclable materials.
