Ever since we started out on this building our first home experience, i very quickly became engrossed with everything to do with real estate and home renovation. I would be reading the realestate sections everytime i pick up a newspaper and checking in on http://www.homeone.com.au/ a forum for home owners and builders.. so engrossed about realestate that i was already on the lookout for our future purchase! Crazy as it sounds, but its true.
The news yesterday on the Copenhagen Climate talks nearing collapse brought me back to earth. At that moment, i realised how lucky i already am, enjoying life as it is and taking so many things for granted. Victorians especially would understand the issues of climate change even better than others having just been through the Black Saturday bushfires last summer that killed 173 lives, burnt down many beautiful homes and destroyed many families and dreams. But the impact of climate change is far far greater if we all care to look deeper, but yet many of us conveniently ignore it and justify our actions with excuses. I know i do too.
Hence i would recommend anyone looking at purchasing their next home to seriously consider building a new home with high energy efficiency rating. You not just help the climate, you help yourself financially in reduced energy bills. That is why we chose to build at Aurora. The main attraction is definitely its environmental credentials, masterplan and affordability. So moral of this blog is that we should feel very fortunate to be building our first home at Aurora, and we are :) To find out more about this awesome development, look at my 1st post!
