Happy Earth Day
Main / Building Green Concepts  

Today is Earth Day. Let's all think about how we can contribute to Stewarding the Earth, and Sky, Water and Wind. A place we call home...

...but may take for granted.

Buy a tree and plant it.

Start a Neighborhood Forest.

Become a "Tree City USA" Community!

Re:Happy Earth Day
Replace a few incandescent light bulbs with compact flourescents.

Replace a few regular on off light switches with dimmers.

If you don't live in an Energy Star home, contact a local Home Performance Specialist like On Point Advantage LLC and have a home energy audit performed. Then implement some of the recommendations.

If you are a building professional and a member of the BCASWI, join our newly-formed Green Building Council.

If you'd like some additional ideas, just visit my website or give me a call.

Re:Happy Earth Day
Ya hoo! Thanks Chuck.

Urban Forestry may seem like an oxymoron, but it's not. Planting street trees helps with heat island effect, caused by all the roof tops and asphalt.

More on that later! Katy, Idaho Blue Insulation
