Editorial: Affordable housing project made better by the color green
St. Croix Valley Habitat for Humanity has certainly outdone itself by starting to build not only a cluster of new houses aimed at low-income families, but also houses that will be made of recycled building materials, that use solar and geothermal energy, and that reuse rain/storm water for gardening and indoor needs.
