Pennsylvania rep Chris Ross puts his money where his mouth is…
or is it mouth where his money is...ugh. Germy.
The environmental Commitee advisory member bought an old 1970’s house and barn and
worked to get it off the electrical grid…with a sustainable house and garden.
…Which is also beautiful.
house before
after…incorporating local stone.
Inside and out uses all manner of modern green technology.
Green roof, solar panels…they even sell excess energy back to the grid!
outside the pool was removed, and the concrete used for paths and walkways…
Instead of water needing lawn…they used natural grasses and sedges to lead up to their home
The garden is now a meadow resplendent with native plants
and birds and butterflies…
Politics…who knew?
