Simple
Options To “Green” Your Home
As Earth Day approaches, is important to ask yourself:
How can I make a difference in the environment? As a
consumer, you have the daily opportunities to protect
and maintain a healthy atmosphere on a global and domestic
level. Remember, a vote is made for a more eco-friendly
marketplace every time you buy. More and more products
are becoming available that are non-toxic, recycled,
and sustainable. At Rethink Renovations we take pride
in our knowledge of these products and promote their
use in all of our remodeling projects. As a family owned
and operated company we understand the importance of
a healthy home. Our children are the inspiration in
all of our work. We take the time to educate our clients
on the products and services we provide. Our team has
a passion for creating a healthy home and environment.
Consumers must realize that there are many ways to
"green" a home and sometimes in a more cost-efficient
way. There many simple options for greening your home,
such as non-toxic paints & stains, formaldehyde-free
cabinets, FSC wood, recycled glass countertops, local
sustainable hardwood flooring, low watt lighting, and
energy star appliances. There are also other options,
such as radiant heated flooring, solar power, wind power,
geothermal power, tankless water heaters, and water
filter systems. We also enjoy using salvage materials
and reusing what clients already have in their homes.
In this slow market, new construction is everywhere
and frankly it’s a waste. New construction uses
unnecessary tactics and creates more waste for the landfills.
There a many wonderful homes that can be updated to
meet the needs of homeowners everywhere. So why not
make your home the first place you make environmentally
friendly. Take steps to maintain your home and provide
a high-quality healthy home for the next owner by incorporating
eco-friendly products into each remodel you make.
The best way to make a difference this month and years
to come is by exercising your buying power. When consumers
show a need, businesses work quickly to meet that demand.
Be sure to do your research before buying any products
for your home. Also, ask all of your service providers
if they have made changes to strive for a better environment.
When you purchase eco-friendly products and services,
you are showing business America that you want more
options in the marketplace. Have a green inspired day!!!
