That’s because a green home means saving money, cutting down your carbon footprint, and improving your health. If you want to dive deeper into the world of green home renovations, check out GBRI’s ROOTs of a Greener Home e-book. Don’t own a home and still would like to reduce your footprint?

ROOTs

Filled with practical information, suggestions, and basic how-to’s for greening your lifestyle and home, The Roots of a Greener Home will help you take manageable steps towards sustainability. And the small steps you take can accumulate into big changes for the entire world.

The Roots of a Greener Home describes more than 150 projects and practices, like this one that will help you “green” your home, your surroundings, and your lifestyle. The book is divided into four main sections: Home and Garden, Home Improvements, Home Savings, and Home and Lifestyle. Each of these sections is then further divided into categories that address the components of the home from roof to floor and everything in between, including landscaping, lighting, water conservation practices, energy savings, cleaning, health and nutrition, transportation, and home audits that can lower the consumption of natural resources.

Tiny Homes

Within the past six years, Tiny Homes and sustainability have been steadily growing in popularity, due to internet and TV fame. People no longer dream of living in mansions, and instead are enchanted with the allure of small spaces and their low price tags. Coupled with the minimalism and sustainability movements, these tiny home enthusiasts choose to build their own homes and reduce their footprint, as well as declutter their lives to achieve a stronger sense of happiness and freedom. Learn about Tiny Homes, sustainability and its advantages and disadvantages  to determine whether the lifestyle would fit you. Perhaps you’ll end up joining in on the movement.
