"The Nature of a House is a candid, charming, and illuminating book. Woodwell tells a story that will interest anyone who has ever thought about doing a 'green' rehab, has tried to build green, or just wonders what is actually possible."

"Nobody understands the connections between the global and the local better than George Woodwell. The Nature of a House is at once sobering and inspiring. It shows what can be done—what has to be done—to achieve true sustainability."
— Elizabeth Kolbert, The New Yorker staff writer and author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe
"The residential sector is responsible for 21% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, which are directly related to global climate change. Building green provides a dual benefit by significantly lessening the negative impact of a home on the environment, while also benefitting the occupants by saving them money, reducing resource usage, and improving their health. Green home building can help to drive these benefits, and The Nature of a House helps to educate consumers about the importance of green homebuilding while offering strategies and solutions, both big and small."
