The Green House Effect

The word is out! More and more people are “going green.” One area in particular where this is occurring is home improvement. With President Obama extending green home-improvement tax credits for 2011, now is the time to take action. Here are a few eco-friendly home improvement tips:

1)Solar panels
Reduce or eliminate your dependence on a utility company or a foreign energy supply. Avoid rising energy costs and save money. Current rebates and programs make now the time to switch to solar. Receive a tax rebate or get money from utility companies when you install your own solar panels.

2)Lighting
Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) and Light-Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs are longer lasting and more efficient than incandescent. These bulbs sometimes cost more up front, but they pay off with savings over time.

3)Native trees and plants
We are all aware of the ecological benefits of trees and plants on the environment. Native plants need less maintenance because they are in their natural conditions. Improve the air quality and visual appeal of your home with plants from Ohio, such as Mayapple, Wild Geranium, Solomon’s Seal, Squirrel Corn and Ohio’s state wildflower, Trillium.

When making home improvements it is essential that all garbage and junk are removed and disposed of properly. Frog Hauling Dumpster Rental is your local dumpster rental company to dispose of all waste efficiently and properly.
