Reporter Sydney Tumer visits an eco-friendly house in the backyard of a museum inago. The Smart Home uses green technology to keep you informed of your energyfrough your television and computer. It keeps track of when you enter and leave

and can turn the lights, television and music off when you exit. To learn morethe eco-friendly house, read the following interview with the museum coordinator.

It is a prefabricated, modular green house that was brought to the museum and thenput together.

Because it shows how you can live a green lifestyle by using modern technologythat makes your life easier and simpler.

Many materials were used and we made sure'everything was eco-friendly andgreen.

In many different ways. For example we use the sunlight that comes through thewindows to warm the house in the winter. we also use a solar sun-oven to cookfood.

About five months. First, the modules were constructed in the factory. Then it wasbrought to the museum. Then it took two months to finish the interior.

The crown of the Statue of Liberty has never been open to visitors.

Between September ll,200l and2004, only the lower pafts of the statue were opento visitors.

Officials were womied about the staircase leading to the top of the statue because itwas not wide enough.

To make the statue safer. officials decided to have lifts in the statue to take visitorsto the top.

Officials have limited the number of people visiting the crown at one time.

The statue was made by a French aftist.
