17 Eco Treehouse Inspirations
Life in the Trees - Build an Eco Treehouse
Are treehouses a good green choice? Maybe. It really depends. There's an obvious footprint reduction - one, you sure aren't building on land, and you aren’t (hopefully) cutting down trees. Another perk is that many folks use what they have around to build a treehouse. Not a big fancy treehouse, but on your own, with very few reclaimed and recycled materials you can build a treehouse. You do have to think about possible damage to the tree, bad materials, and energy needs, but in most cases, a treehouse can be a nice small eco-minded dwelling.
Here are 17 great eco tree homes and eco treehouse resources. Get inspired and build your own...
