“I wanted to find a way to combine my passion for environmental preservation through the use of alternative energy and my love for education. Technologies available today are incredibly efficient and need to become more main stream. When folks are thinking about their energy needs, its important to consider how their choices affect our planet. If each of us considers new “green” ways of creating electrical power in our lives, we can have an enormous impact on the health of our world for years to come. Our Dragonfly Cove Home is an example of how this technology can work. It is a lovely, elegant home powered by solar.”

I have so much HOPE that future generations will make smart choices and think about the planet before they make any decision. But this can only happen through great education. “It is our belief that if children are taught from an early age to have respect and reverence for nature, we will create future generations that establish efficient and innovative ways to live without hurting our environment and using up its natural resources.”

Dragonfly Cove Homes is a way in which we can service the real estate market by assisting in the marketing of alternative energy homes and at the same time donate much needed funds to schools and programs that are reaching out to children and connecting them to the earth.

I hope more and more people will hear about our website and list their homes with us to support our efforts. Of course, we will only consider homes that have alternative sources of power.
