Press Release Summary: GREEN LOG HOME Inc. educates consumers by empowering them
with non-biased information that demonstrates how to significantly reduce energy
bills, promote well-being in the home and reduce global warming.



Press Release Body: A NYC couple, Fred and Natasha Ruckel, are attempting to build
the ultimate eco-friendly log home for the median cost of an average family home in
New York State. Once complete the home will be self-sustainable, cost very little to
run, and will possess a negligible carbon footprint.

Through their experiences, the couple aims to expose which green technologies and
products are affordable to consumers using 'real world' budgets. Consumers are
bombarded with many \'green-washing\' campaigns, and catchy \'green\' advertisements.
The Ruckels aim to empower people, by providing them with enough information to
differentiate the facts from 'green-fiction'.

The Ruckels created an informational website six months ago:
http://www.greenloghome.com; so that other people may learn how to: find, purchase
and build on the most appropriate parcel of land; deal with Realtors, surveyors,
engineers, contractors and manufacturers; learn about making sustainable choices,
and last, but not least, discover how to make the home a safer place to live in.

The Ruckels have also begun the process of shooting a thirteen part television
series, about how to become green. Another of their long-term goals is to create a
set of workbooks for schools and other projects, which can be used to teach children
about the effects of global warming.

"We have invested a lot of time into researching the advancements of green
technologies", says Fred Ruckel, "and also about the importance of increased energy
savings, maximizing heat efficiency and renewable materials. We have talked to many
different organizations; one log home company even offered to give us our green log
home for free, we had to decline, they just didn\'t stand up to our green criteria".

Natasha Ruckel added, "Building a green home isn\'t just about using renewable and
eco-friendly construction materials; it\'s also about creating a safe environment
inside the home. It is amazing how many household products can contribute to poor
indoor air quality".

Once complete, the Ruckels hope to set the standard by which the construction of
green log homes will be measured in the future. Using guidelines set in place by the
Green Building Council, the Ruckel home is aiming for Platinum LEED® status. Once
complete the Green Log Home will be one of the most efficient LEED® registered log
homes in the USA.
