Here are some great examples of green materials for the
 home, some may work for you and all can be executed
       quickly with a minimum amount of effort.
Energy Saving Appliances
I am the poster child for this. If you get nothing else out of
  this article, the next time you buy appliances make sure
 they are rated well by EnergyStar. This will save you a lot
      of money and most of the appliances will pay for
     themselves eventually in terms of energy savings.
Lighting
Same deal here. The right lighting and bulbs will save you
 a fortune. Try to stay away from the energy saving bulbs
that contain mercury if at all possible. I used to have a lot
of those, but replaced them because I didn't want to take
a chance on one of them breaking which has been known
              to happen when you have kids.
Tankless Water Heaters
I would love to have one of these. The water is heated on
   demand and it saves a lot of money in energy costs.
Low Flow Faucets and Shower Heads
A low flow showerhead is an acquired taste and I have yet
    to find one that really feels great regardless of the
 marketing, but they do save a lot of water. If you find a
   good one, let me know and I will try it, review it and
                         publish it.
LED faucets that turn on and off automatically
I personally hate these, but for anyone with kids, they are
a godsend and let's face it, they do save a lot of water and
                 that is what is important.
Bamboo Flooring
The advantage to Bamboo from a sustainability standpoint
  is that it grows quickly and is much more durable than
 hardwood (according to the manufacturers). In theory, I
 think this is an excellent idea and I have been to several
 building and flooring shows where it is advocated, but I
can't tell you from personal experience. I think you should
                   do some research first.
Recycled glass counter tops
Some of these look really cool and they are a great
conversation piece at cocktail parties as well as being eco
                        friendly.
Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power
Someone is going to find a way to make solar power
  affordable and make the panels razor thin and easily
    connectible. The day that happens, I am quitting
everything and buying a franchise in that company. Until
then, I'll wait. As far a wind power goes, this should be a
     no brainer for anyone that can accommodate it.
Eco Friendly Furniture
Here is a no brainer. Furniture made from sustainable or
recycled materials, or certified wood. This is good for the
 environment and a great conversation piece when you
                        entertain.
It bears repeating, the bottom line on all of the above is
  don't take anyone's word for it. Do your own research.
      With the internet, it should be a piece of cake.
Additionally, follow some of the links on this site. We have
            already vetted them and trust them.
