(no metal or ceramic, high carbon footprint products, which remain inert for their lifetimes, and when they require maintenance, sometimes use toxic materials..…) *We also enjoy natural, passive cooling and heating by virtue of, innovative and creative design from the NST marketing design studio. *In addition, we have low electricity consumption by the use of led lighting throughout. *We also use energy star - approved appliances…..plus the application of bio-degradable products for washing and cleaning, plus the sorting of waste products for local recycling, and the use of water-wise toilet and shower devices. we also harvest rainwater. *To keep our wildlife happy, we created a garden environment that serves as a sustainable haven for surrounding fauna & flora. To observe a healthy, sustainable garden eco-system, we do not use any harmful chemicals whatsoever in our garden. *Naturally we strive to do more, within our means, each passing day, for the benefit of our wonderful environment. *We have a bit of a wild garden – we try to manage it as an eco-system
