Ways Gaia Anderson is Environmentally friendly

• Its solar powered. I am impressed with anyone going solar and Gaia Anderson does

• The bath mats are made with post consumer recycled materials. So is the granite and the tiles in the bathrooms.
• Low flow shower and toilets. Water Conservation anyone?
