WHAT
GREEN MEANS? |
Looking to make a positive impact on the environment? Don’t
know how? As you’ve probable gathered from recent headlines, “Going
Green” can mean many things to many people. In the home renovation
market, it can generally be broken down into two categories:
1. Energy Conservation Or Efficiency:
Live Wise... Energy conservation or efficiency relates to anything that enables
homeowners to reduce their consumption of natural resources, such as energy and
water. Reducing energy and water consumption can have a profound impact on reducing
the carbon emissions that lead to global warming and today’s climate crisis.
Conserving energy means using efficiency options that prevent hot or cold air
from entering or escaping your home or using, for example, Energy Star products
that regulate natural resources like electricity or water. Energy conservation
also revolves around using renewable resources, such as solar panels or generators
that turn you into an energy producer instead of a consumer.
2. Choosing Green Or Sustainable
Materials:
Buy Smart... By choosing products that are made from sustainable
or recycled
materials that don’t deplete our natural resources, damage the environment,
or require excess energy to produce, homeowners can go green one choice at a
time. It’s amazing how much of an impact simply buying eco-friendly paints,
wood alternatives, or even recycled paper countertops can have on the environment.
MyHome’s Live Wise/Buy Smart campaign offers homeowners a chance to “Go
Green” with a number of solutions meant to provide not only the means,
but also the financial incentive to make eco-conscious choices. The road to a
