CLEAN TO GREEN: Spring Clean
Your Way To The Ultimate Garage Sale!
The days are longer, the temperatures are
becoming pleasant, and our energy levels are up as we begin to stretch
out of our winter hibernation - spring has sprung! Time to harness
some of the new energy and get the spring cleaning out of the way. Spring cleaning is a great opportunity to remove dust, mold,
toxins and clutter from our households, and as we clean, we notice a
pile emerge of unused and unwanted "stuff." This gathered hoard of old
décor, books, electronics and exercise gadgets should not be squirreled
away for another year! Instead, incorporate into your spring cleaning
the determination to get this "stuff" out the door through a garage sale
(real or virtual) or off to charity. For tips, read on!

Paint-On Insulation: Is It Truly Green?
Winter is here, and if that utility bill
is high, you are probably already troubleshooting problem areas of your
home. One of largest contributors to drafty rooms is a lack of
insulation. Insulation is designed to stop air passage through ceilings,
walls, and the floor. The intention is to keep the right air where you
want it in each season. Obviously, the windows and heating source are
also important to maintaining an overall energy efficient program, but
having the right insulation is a key factor.
In
existing homes, it can be difficult to go back and insulate after
the fact. If attic space allows, you can blow-in insulation.
Under-floors and in-between walls can be difficult as well. Even
with your best efforts, there is bound to be some location that is
hard to reach. What if you had a product that you could apply
from the exterior? |
