Is this like those people who are going to compost their own sewage in their Manhattan highrise condo? And then write a book about their experience?

I think geos brought up a good point though - many of the extreme "go green" projects are fabulously more expensive than doing it the regular way - meaning that for now, only people with a lot of money can turn their entire house green. Which seems kind of weird.
