Conscious living goes far beyond everyday sustainable practices. You can absolutely recycle, compost, and switch to an electric vehicle, but at the end of the day, eco-friendly living means supporting designers, builders, and manufacturers going the extra mile to incorporate earth-friendly materials and operations into their homes. Just in time for Earth Day, these luxurious eco-friendly houses really pay it forward.
