Everyone should make an effort to help keep our Earth healthy!

Via David Monsour (Prudential Bob Yost - Sites, Gettysburg, PA):

Becoming Energy Star or LEAD certified Green isn't an easy process, but that doesn't mean you should avoid Green practices altogether.  As a Green Certified Realtor I've studied a lot of different Green Options. 

Some Green practices are very expensive but others are affordable and can really make a difference. 

1.)  Seal up windows, doors, lighting, outlets to make sure your home isn't loosing heat/cooling energy to the outside.  Consider a home energy audit with an infrared camera.

2.)  Energy Star appliances can be a great step in the Green direction. 

3.)  Fluorescent light bulbs last longer and require less energy

4.)  Use environmentally friendly cleaning products

5.)  Try to use local products to avoid wasting energy used in transport. 

If you're looking to go to the next level of green consider solar panels, wind power, and build a south facing home to take advantage of the suns rays.  There are many government grants and credits available for going Green.
