Eco-Friendly Wall Materials: Blocks Made Of Cement Mixed With Volcanic Ash - Semi-load bearing breeze blocks are made locally of concrete mixed with volcanic ash.@romyolconcrete
Reclaimed Bricks - The use of recycled bricks reduce the energy involved in manufacturing new ones.@cerastribley
Cellulose Insulation And Mineral Wool - Cellulose Insulation are made of shredded newspaper, as well as fire-retardant, damp cellulose, while mineral wool are made of basalt rock and recycled slag. Pests and fire resist this material that also has sound-absorbing properties.@rodrustic
Cotton Insulation - Who knew your denims can be recycled as a building material? Cotton insulation is made of recycled jeans and cotton fiber. This low chemical content material provides insulation, and has low chemical content.@yshomebuildersinc
Corn, Soybean and Sugarcane Insulation - Corn isn't just for cereal anymore! Along with soybean and sugarcane, these agri products have been known to be biodegradable components of eco-friendly rigid board and spray foam.https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/50068

Water-Based Latex Paints - hese are known to contain far less VOC than their oil-based counterparts. In general, make sure you are consuming a paint product that contains less than 50 g/L of VOC. Paints are considered zero-VOC when they are less than 5 g/L.In general, flat paint sheen and lighter colors are known to have less VOC in them, as lighter colors use less tint in their manufacturing. @visionsqualitycoatings
Green Roof - Green Roofs are covered with living vegetation. This can be achieved in a number of ways, including planting in trays filled with plants, vegetables and fruits.

It also absorbs rainwater and reduces its runoff. @stefanoboeriarchitetti
Solar Roof - Solar systems which can harness the energy of the sun to run the home on solar energy can be installed as shingles. This option is costly in the beginning, but will pay off over time.@solar24news
