Interest in being green has moved across the country--- it’s no longer for the wacky earth lovers in garden shoes and tree huggers that camp in wildlife all summer long.
According to Matt Golden whose company performs environmental audits on homes, which test for energy efficiency and indoor air quality, and other factors, going green is in our future and now a way of life.
There are plenty of reasons why focusing on the environment has become so popular lately. Some attribute it to AL Gore and his documentary ,others point to growing body of Green building standards among realtors. My husband recently became one the first Eco Broker/ Realtors in the Houston Area www.buysellorleasehomes.com
Many builders have followed suit by making extreme changes in the building process and materials used. Other factors that are critical to some are energy prices and every day cost of living in the home.
But what about your health in the home? What about the things that Matt searches for that cause the indoor air quality to prove hazardous to many families… ?
Much of the exposure to chemicals and toxins that enter the blood stream are found in our home environment. Yet most Americans fail to read the backs of bottles, cans and various other daily used house hold cleaners. These things ultimately cost us our health with allergies, sinuses, headaches, infertility, cancer, add, and autism, to name a few.
How much can you afford to spend on your new green home? How much does it take to remove the chemicals from your home? I assure you that it’s a fraction of the cost but it will save your life and allow you to live in your dream home!
Try going green today to make a difference!
