Are you looking for a green paradise to call home? Are you considering some green remodeling that will help cut your energy costs while reducing your impact? Or maybe you are just looking to escape from reality for a couple of hours. This weekend brings us two green home tours on opposite ends of the city that are sure to inspire and educate. If you can't make either times, consider green remodeling options at EcoMetro merchants like ecohaus, Second Use, and the ReStore.
