Green Living in Action: A Way of Life at BIOS Homes
Originally featured by National Geographic | 10,462 views and counting
At BIOS Homes, green living is not just a trend — it’s a lifestyle, a belief system, and a shared mission. Our residents don’t just live in homes; they live in harmony with nature, in communities designed to thrive sustainably for generations to come. That’s why we’re proud to share this video originally featured by National Geographic, showcasing the heart and soul of what it means to be part of an environmentally conscious community.
This film is more than just a showcase of beautiful homes and lush landscapes. It’s a window into how our residents — families, retirees, first-time homeowners, and forward-thinking professionals — are embracing what we call the Being Green mindset.
🌱 Living in a Sustainable Township
Every BIOS Homes development is designed with purpose. From our materials and building methods to land use, transportation, and lifestyle amenities, we focus on minimizing environmental impact while maximizing livability. Our townships, whether urban infill or rural retreats, use sustainable design to reduce carbon footprints and enhance human well-being.
The video gives you a glimpse into daily life here — where composting is second nature, solar panels are standard, and homes are built using next-gen materials like our patent-pending hemp-bamboo insulation. With high R-values, low VOCs, and cradle-to-cradle design principles, our homes don’t just shelter you — they protect your health and the planet.
🔧 Tools and Methods for a Greener Life
We believe people want to live sustainably — they just need the knowledge and tools to do so. That’s why BIOS Homes is more than a builder — we are educators, mentors, and innovation leaders. When you join a BIOS community, you receive:
-
Smart home energy dashboards that track consumption in real time
-
Native landscaping and rainwater collection systems for eco-smart yards
-
EV-ready infrastructure and bike-sharing programs
-
Composting and recycling services built into the community infrastructure
-
Trade school programs for ongoing education in green trades
Green living becomes easier — even joyful — when the systems are in place and the community supports it. That’s exactly what we’ve created.
🏡 Every Day Is a Lesson in Sustainability
Our residents inspire us. Every day, they take small actions that collectively create a huge impact: choosing to walk or bike instead of drive, using cloth bags instead of plastic, growing their own herbs and vegetables, or attending workshops on vertical farming and greywater systems. These seemingly simple choices become habits. And those habits become culture.
One resident put it best: “We didn’t move into a green home — we joined a green movement.”
This is the power of community. It’s not just about one house or one family — it’s about a neighborhood that grows together, learns together, and supports each other in making better choices.
💚 Recognized by National Geographic
We’re incredibly honored that National Geographic acknowledged our efforts in creating one of the most environmentally responsible townships of its kind. Their feature brought global attention to the idea that sustainable living doesn’t have to be hard — and that the blueprint for a better future already exists. It’s here, at BIOS Homes.
Their coverage has amplified our message and validated what our team and our residents have known for years: Being green isn’t just possible — it’s beautiful, achievable, and deeply rewarding.
🔄 Inspiring Change Beyond Our Borders
This video is part of a broader series of stories that show what’s possible when vision meets action. Whether you live in one of our communities or halfway across the world, the core message is the same: you can live better, live cleaner, and live with purpose.
At BIOS Homes, we are committed to sharing our knowledge and helping others replicate this success. From our open-source building systems to our upcoming trade school, we’re not hoarding innovation — we’re spreading it.
We’ve already received interest from communities in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The hope is to create a global network of BIOS factories and communities — places where people can build futures that are both sustainable and equitable.
🙏 Thank You to Our Community
None of this would be possible without the people who make up BIOS. From the engineers designing our modular systems, to the residents who compost their kitchen scraps, to our trade school students learning the art of sustainable construction — we thank you.
Every step forward is a team effort. Every recycled can, every solar panel installed, every tree planted — it all adds up. You’re not just buying a home. You’re joining a movement.
