A story from cbs4denver.com, reports that for the first time, the Parade of Homes is in Lakewood this year. Not only is it considered to be the largest walking tour of luxury custom homes in the United States, this year the homes are green. Vicki Pelletier with the Home Builders Association said, "There going to see a lot of different things this year, a lot of energy efficient products they can incorporate in their home, a lot of decorating ideas that they can incorporate. They are going to be able to see a different side of Lakewood you don't typically see." The homes are all certified Built Green with features like solar panels, carpet made from post-consumer recycled materials, hardwood floors made out of reclaimed whiskey barrels, as well as kitchen cabinets made out of reclaimed beetle-kill pine wood from Colorado. The Built Green Colorado program encourages homebuilders across the state to build homes that are not only energy efficient, but use less water and preserve natural resources.
