Fall into Greener Living Spaces

  • Mood:

  Aah – autumn! For most of us in the U.S., the changing of the seasons brings cooler weather. This time of year I like to take time out to clean the house, pull out the heavier clothing, then open my windows and let in some fresh air before we have to bundle up for the winter. This is an opportune time to utilize resources for making our homes cozy, efficient, and GREEN.

  The authority on green residential and commercial information is the U.S Green Building Council. Their Mission:

“To transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.”

  The USGBC also provides the Green Home Guide – which uses guidelines based on their LEED® Rating Systems. Excellent source for new homes as well as renovations!

   Did you know that you can also receive money back from the government for your greening efforts? Take a look at the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency. Click on your state, and let the savings begin!

   You can also find valuable resources on The Daily Green and Treehugger.

   One of my favorite discoveries this summer has been Planet Green – a Discovery Channel. It’s a cable channel dedicated to everything green! I know – I know: A bit geeky, but I watch it whenever I get the chance to! With stellar shows like Emeril Green, Living With Ed, Battleground Earth (Starring Ludacris and Tommy Lee), and two shows produced by Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic): Greensburg, and Wasted, You’ve got ‘round the clock access to the experts! Just be sure to turn the tv off when you’re done watching! 

  Planning on cozying up on the inside? Be sure to visit World of Good and Gaiam.com. And now, even Target has eco-friendly options for the home!

   Also – honorable mention goes out to the City of Chicago for their efforts to work toward becoming the ‘greenest city in America’! They are also a part of USGBC’s Greenbuild365 program. Chicago has established many organizations and committees on going green among the city’s government and its residents. Take a look at the Chicago Climate Action Plan. Get inspired!

Namaste',

ELisha
