The first "Green Home" to be built by Home and Garden Television is currently on display
and offered in a nationwide sweepstakes. Located at 413 River Oaks Way in Tradition Hilton
Head, on Highway 278 between Bluffton and Hardeeville, South Carolina, the Lowcountry
cottage was awarded a LEED gold certification by USGBC.
The house uses a solar energy system to provide heat and light. Rainwater is filtered into a
500-gallon, underground cistern, where it is held for lawn irrigation or toilet water. Even
the furnishings are environmentally friendly, using organic linens on furniture made from
recycled building materials.
