OK, I know…I’m a little late to the party on this one, but it’s too awesome to pass up! The Essex County Environmental Center held a gingerbread house contest, but these weren’t just any gingerbread houses – they had to contain green building elements. Check out the winners:
This one has pomegranate fruit bar solar panels and a wind turbine!
More solar panels here – this time made of chocolate! I think this one is my favorite. I love the green roof and the tiny recycle bin!
The only thing that would have made this even better would have been if they’d given bonus points for organic ingredients. Or maybe for vegan houses? Oooooh!
