GREEN LIVING
Key solutions for making your home a green home -- and saving money!
Going green is no longer just a catch phrase of environmental advocates, movie stars and politicians. Even if you’re an average consumer, you and your neighbors are now taking green living seriously as concern grows over a shaky economy, increasing energy costs and our ever-dwindling natural resources.
Going green tips are everywhere you look and they range from basic to outrageous and costly. Too often consumers overlook the normal every day activities that require so many natural resources – bathing, cooking, cleaning, heating, cooling, appliance use and personal care.
With utility bills sapping a large percentage of your paycheck, you’ll be happy to know that there are numerous very simple ways to reduce the amount of energy used by your home’s heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems and your plumbing.
