the sun, wind and soil. For instance, instead of a traditional roof, eco-
homes will 6... a layer of soil protecting the house from cold winter and

eco-homes could even use wind power to produce electricity. In an eco-
home, we will also be able to?... water, which will mean 8 ... down on
the amount of water we use. Water used in the kitchen and shower will
be collected and used for watering the garden. Sounds like fantasy, º...
