Habitat for Humanity is known for building affordable homes for those in need, but on their more recent builds in Nashville, they have utilized environmentally-friendly practices. Some of these new features include Energy Star appliances, thick foam insulation in the walls, and low flow fixtures to restrict water use. 
Mother nature is not the only one benefiting from Habitat's green efforts. "Habitat Homeowner, Casey Greer, said her energy-efficient Habitat home saves her hundreds of dollars a month on electricity.
She used to pay $350 a month for electricity and now only pays around $56."
The Nashville team hopes their green initiative will spread around the country. That would mean great things for the environment- Habitat for Humanity is the sixth largest home builder in the country and still growing.
