New Home Tips
We just bought our first home (built in 1975). Besides buying energy star applicances, what else can we do or not do to be more eco-friendly as well as budget friendly?
Re: New Home Tips
Install low flow shower heads and a low flow head for your kitchen and bathroom sinks.
Insulation.
Check the temperature on your fridge, freezer and water heater.
CFL or LED light bulbs.
VOC free paints if you need to paint any rooms.
Start a compost.
Plant some fruit trees or berry bushes of rhubarb. (Doesn't save energy, but tastes nice!)
