Composting Hotels, Universal Design & Eco-resources
-- Quote of the Day --
" (Universal Leadership Energy Environment Design): It began with coming home from the hospital and realizing that 80% of the two story home was inaccessible to me. ...We began designing a universal design home - a ranch style without stairs or elevators... accommodating our home offices and lifestyle. ...We started thinking 'why don't we share what we've learned with other people with disabilities? '. ...The breakthrough was through a Master Mind group - it was at that moment that they told us 'Why don't you build a national demonstration home and get corporate sponsors? ' ...Universal design needs to be addressed, so that the home is usable by all people, without the need for adaptation or any special design. So think of a house for people of all abilities no matter what their physical limitation - they can get into the house without steps, the hallway and doors are wide enough... the kitchen is set up with various heights of countertops and space for someone seated to move around. ...I'm four foot two in a seated position, but my husband is six foot four. So a universal design will be set up so that everyone is comfortable.
...The intent is to save money from health care systems, and from insurance programs and private investments... if you need assistance you can stay at home and hire that. ...It is much cheaper to stay in your own home verses going to a care facility "
