Five "Green" Alternative Products For Your Home

Water Efficiency. The averages home consumes over 100,000 gallons of water every year. That's a lot of water, folks. Couple that with perpetual droughts and warmer seasons, and it makes good sense to start paying attention to our private water consumption. Consider upgrading your appliances. Today, you can get power Star-certified dishwasher, Clothes washers and dryers, and dual-flush toilets. Products like these make a big dissimilarity in our aggregated consumption, as well as reducing private power costs immediately.

Wood Flooring Products. Wood flooring options are getting a lot good these days, thanks to the drive to conserve our old-growth forests by using products like bamboo, palm, or eucalyptus. Products like these grow back very rapidly, and therefore make great alternatives to oak, for example.

Countertops. New countertop face materials are exploding in popularity these days because they look just like (and in some cases, better) former surfaces but are made from eco-friendly materials. Reclaimed wooden butcher block countertops, paperstone, Richelite, and glass tile are all exquisite options and don't contain adverse levels of formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds (Vocs).

Insulation. Check out a goods called UltraTouch. UltraTouch is made from high-quality natural fibers and has maximum thermal performance. One thing I just love about this goods is that it doesn't itch when working with it! (Those of you who've worked with insulation can absolutely appreciate that). UltraTouch is flame-retardant, safe to work with, and an exquisite alternative to former insulation.

Paints and stains. Earth-based paint materials (clay and lime, for example) are gaining in popularity for three former reasons: 1) they do not contain perilous materials, 2) they simply combat dust and pollen, and 3) there are many great color choices available today. When choosing a wood or concrete stain, check out soy-based products as an alternative. Products like these are much more cordial to the environMent.

Going green means you save green. It's no mystery that going green is more expensive upfront. Over time, it's safe to assume that this will change, however, as green Supplies increase to keep up with the growing demand. Finally, while you may pay more up front for these products, you will not only realize a inevitable return on your investMent quickly, but you will also be contributing to the environMent in an extremely inevitable way.
