We all want a greener planet earth. But exactly what does green mean? This is a tough question to answer. Seems everyone has a very personal set of standards. 
As far as housing goes, you know your home is making the green grade when it’s blessed with a high LEED rating, Energy Star certification, or HERS score.
One thing green doesn’t mean is bland functionality pitifully short on good looks. Just feast your eyes on this selection of remodeling solutions to see the excitingly aesthetic side of eco-friendly.
Interested in introducing some eco-friendliness to the place where you hang your hat? Try these to enliven your Orange County home with green goodness.
- Low or no VOC (volitile organic compounds) materials.
- FSC certified wood products displaying the greenseal logo.
- Low waste construction
But deduct major points if you dispose of non-green refuse in a landfill. Far better to recycle, renew, or reuse. Maybe you’ve heard of Habitat RE stores or freecycle.com? Both are superb remodeling or updating partners.
No doubt you have your own ideas about eco-friendly. So what do you think makes a household green? Feel free to fire off your comments below. Or tweet @weeksteam with #green.
