I know this may seem like kind of random way to begin a green home design blogpost, but I recently joined the worldwide “Twitter” community.
For those of you who don’t know what “Twitter” is, let me explain . . . No, there is too much; let me sum up: Twitter is an online tool for social networking, much like Facebook. However, Twitter narrows its focus to answer just one question, “What are you doing?”
It’s a pretty neat tool, I guess. I haven’t really been able to get into it that much, but I know some people can’t live without it. As I was messing around with it the other day, someone posted a link to a site called www.thedailygreen.com. More specifically, they referenced a really neat article about Green Swimming Pools.
I went through and read what they have to say, and I’m convinced that Green Swimming Pools are the way to go. What is a Green Swimming Pool? For decades, European have been developing and implementing what they call “Natural Swimming Pools.” These natural swimming pools use carefully selected plants and conscientious design to create a sanitary mini-ecosystem that will provide people with a great place to swim and relax. Instead of relying on harmful chemicals such as chlorine and ozone, green swimming pools allow plants to perform the same function.
Obviously, some people might say that this raises health concerns; but as more people research the option of having a green swimming pool, more experts are finding that green swimming pools meet (and often exceed) the standards set by conventional chemically-treated swimming pools.
Like I said –Â after reading the article, I’m convinced that green swimming pools are the way to go, but don’t take my word for it. Check it Out for yourself!
Thanks for your help, Twitter!
