On Earth Day, Be Inspired By These Green Remodeling Ideas
Earth Day is a natural opportunity to learn about ways to integrate green practices into your next remodel. Building and remodeling green has been a growing interest for homeowners for decades as society has become more aware of each individual’s impact on our global environment. The benefits of remodeling with a focus on sustainability and conservation are wide-ranging and long lasting, both for the planet and for the homeowners.
Green remodeling doesn’t have to be an “all or nothing” proposition. Some homes are designed and built with every element considered from a “green” lens. But any homeowner can make choices in just a few areas that will have a positive influence on the indoor health of the home and its long-term impact on the environment.
