Green Remodeling ideas

Remodeling is always an adventure. Green remodeling offeres an opportunity to make a major difference by doing small things and not getting overwhelmed. If you are going to get new carpet or flooring, consider carpet from recycled plastic fibers. The stuff is indestructible and no one will know the difference--unless you tell them, which you should so they can consider doing the same. Tile is a good flooring choice and now you can get tile made from recycled glass. If you are considering wood floors, you might want to consider bamboo or recycled wood of many varieties. Look for sustainably harvested woods for floors and cabintes. Use recycled windows and doors to give your home character.
You do not have to do everything at once. Small changes add up.
Don't forget to use compact florescent lightbulbs!
