The Expert answers:
Solar panels, of course, a compost pile outside, maybe a garden, a geothermal heating system (no idea how to show that one)
google eco friendly house for more ideas and pictures (you could possible print, cut out and paste in addition to drawings and more 3d constructions out of cardboard.)

The Expert answers:
She could include solar panels on the roof. Also there are water heating panels that go on the roof too. They help make hot water using the heat from the sun. A watering system that reuses bath water and washing machine water to give to the plants in the garden. A rain water collection tank that gathers run-off from the downspouts, also for garden use. Tall shade trees on the south and west sides of the house block afternoon sunlight / heat and will help keep the house cooler during the day. Thick blanketing of insulation in the attic helps keep in the warmth during the winter.

William asks…
I need help, please!!?
This question is for the eco– friendly know it all people…
I am a edgy person and I wear a lot of dark colors and I really hate it when my clothes fade. I was wondering if there are any eco friendly laundry products that prevents fading or have minimal effects to dark clothing.
Please give me good answers!
Thanks ^^
The Expert answers:
Not sure that’s possible… I might be wrong, but think by the nature of wear-and-tear, and simple washing (even by hand) your clothes will eventually fade.
However, maybe try looking at it from another angle? Instead of trying to preserve the base dye, look into eco-friendly dyes that you can use to resaturate the color once it has faded (assuming the garment/fabric istelf is still in decent condition).
Try this for a start:
