AN ECO HOME
John Kangister and his wife, Kathy, live in an interesting house. It‟s an eco home. Eco homes don‟t harm the environment. They don‟t use coal or oil, so they don‟t produce dangerous gases.
John and Kathy‟s eco home is in California, USA. It looks like a house from one of The Lord of the Rings films. Most of the house is underground. The house was very cheap to build. It has wooden walls and floors. The windows are recycled glass. There are solar panels to make electricity for the lights, DVD players, and computers. John and Kathy get water from a well and they grow vegetables in the mud on top of the house.
Now John and Kathy don‟t want to live anywhere else. They love their home because it helps the planet greener and it looks fantastic. They think that eco homes are a great idea for everyone.

GETTING BACK TO NATURE
The Little Morocco is a beautiful building. We used stone and mud to build the hotel. There are skylights – windows in the roof to let light in – so we save electricity. The skylights give us light in the day, so we don‟t use electric lights. We don‟t use chemicals to clean the rooms because we don‟t want to damage the environment.
You can walk in the mountains near the hotel and see lots of local wildlife. Enjoy a boat trip on the lake and see the amazing waterfalls, or visit the beautiful caves.
