Big and Small Green Building

Over the past few weeks, I read about two very different approaches to green building. 

The first type of green building are the green "McMansions", if you will.  They triggered stark disapproval by an eco-terrorism group - who claim that the 4000 sf homes are oxymoronic to green building.  Obviously, a larger home will require more initial building materials and ongoing resources for maintenance.  The other - more innovative and noteworthy - type I read about occurs in Luling, TX, where they really do use fewer natural resources.  These tiny homes are only 200 sf to start!

Do you all think there is a limit to square footage for a green home?
