Luke Grover’s construction company’s homes are about as ‘green’ as a Hummer and about as subtle as a roundhouse kick to the face. Those in the green building industry share a commitment to creating structures that are healthy for the occupants and beneficial to the natural environment. By being energy and water efficient, limiting materials that come from natural resources, and promoting construction practices that encourage environmentalism, green built homes have become known for rewriting how to build. Grover, on the other hand, appears to be one of the many builders who tailor to the upper crust in society and claim to be ‘green’ in order to demand a higher sales tag. Now, don’t get me wrong, Grover has successfully completed the Build It Gree organization’s intensive courses and testing with the idea of being eco-friendly at its core. But I would argue that the true purpose of Earth conscious building practices has been lost on Grover and he has, in turn, used his knowledge for evil rather than good.
