What are the best ways to turn my regular house into a more eco-friendly green house?

February 11, 2010 - 5:19 pm No Comments

I have baseboard hot water heat, and a gas-powered hot water tank. No central air… just window units in the bedrooms. I have a fireplace, but don’t use it much. I live in cold New England. Lots of trees around the house.

I just want to go green, but I don’t want to move. What can I do without spending too, too much money?

going green is a large term many companies use today and it used to widely, mostly for profit. but that does not mean the little people cant go and do a little green them selves. just short of rebuilding a house, you can help by recycling all paper and plastics and glass etc…. then start reducing the amount of electricity you use by using a digital A/C thermostat, change your bulbs from incandescent to compact florescent bulbs (home depot, Lowe’s) (remember to check your local trash company for disposal when they burn out)bad for environment but cheap to use, check your electric company web sites, they usually have great tips on how to reduce power in your home. start using paper bags at the grocery store instead of plastic. all of the things i listed are cheap to start and very inexpensive to do…… going green is not always changing all of the products in house but adjust to help the environment, that alone is going green…
hope this has help you!!!!

Whats the most eco friendly way to recycle coal ash from a house fire?

February 3, 2010 - 5:43 am No Comments

We live in a victorian house and light our fire alot over christmas. We use a mixture of smokeless coal as well as wood collected over the year – whats the best thing to do with this?
Note i know that wood ash is fine but this is mostly coal/charcoal.

if you have an area of the garden you wish to make into a path then use the ash etc as a base a little like using hardcore..alternatively makes a great weed suppressant on slabbed paths etc..just sprinkle into gaps and cracks and brush off the surplus..or on whole areas if you have one that needs treating great as a soil conditioner too

How to be eco-friendly in an apartment?

February 3, 2010 - 5:43 am No Comments

I’m about to move out of my parents home and into my own apartment. My family has never been green but I want to change that for myself. So, what are some ideas to be eco-friendly while living an an apt. that has certain regulations?

Buy decorating items at thrift stores. You can get really creative with this and be your own artist.

Cook once eat twice, just don’t overcook so your throwing out leftovers. Use reuseable plastic containers instead of disposable baggies. I save & reuse sour cream and yogurt type containers to send leftovers home with guests.

There are some small indoor composters on the market now. You can use the compost on the balcony/patio or in houseplants if you don’t have outdoor space.
