Our homes are the single most important investments most of us will make in our lifetimes. Homes and neighborhoods can also become manufacturing centers that work for us to create wealth, instead of the wasteful consumption we find ourselves increasingly boxed into. They create wealth and become net exporters of sustainable services simply by producing more than they consume. Lisa Stiffler tells a great tale in these Sightline Daily reports that help us better…
