...green homes
 

The biggest concept in our homes is to shift mindset to RRR:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Less is more. Homestead.
 
Most impactful/practical "to dos"—

  • reduce energy usage.  this is best achieved by arranging for a free home energy audit. sign up for Clean Energy, which requires the local utility to source your electricity from clean sources like hydro and wind.

 

  • reduce usage of chemicals inside and out.  the easiest two steps are to (1) purchase all cleaning products from Whole Foods and/or use Seventh Generation brand; and (2) ask for organic lawn care.

 

  • recycle.
