Building green often means obsessing over tiny lifestyle tweaks, but the real energy cost comes from the materials and methods used in construction. A single new home can embody the energy of millions of paper towels, with just the window material able to double its energy footprint.

The biggest surprises often hide in overlooked details, not in popular green living headlines.
