Greening Up Your House and Wallets Part 2
Color your house green - I don’t mean literally green by this. You can repaint your house whatever color you like but make sure that the paint you use has low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Ordinary paints look as good but the high level of toxins can be dangerous not only to the environment but only to your health. We all know that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure so ensure your family’s health by using “green paint” whenever you repaint your house.
Get indoor plants - Add to the cozy feel of your home by installing potted plants in areas where you need a little brightening up. This will help not only make the rooms in your house look more airy but it will product more oxygen for you in the morning giving your house a natural air filter.
Insulate your home properly - Insulating your home properly will save lots of energy both in the winter and summer because you won’t need to crank up the heater nor the air conditioner just to get the temperature you want. If you don’t have the money to spend on an overhaul of your insulation system you can take simple steps such as using reflective foils behind radiators, making sure that cracks under window sills and doors are sealed, and installing blinds and shades in your home.
