Going Green is not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet. Tucson has been graced with some forward thinking developers who have embraced the modern trend for greener living. While living in a green home doesn't require any lifestyle changes, be prepared to pay as much as 50% less on your utility bills. The newer green homes have also been constructed using less toxic materials than traditional construction, which is better for your family and the environment. Some have a misconception that green building or buying is far more expensive than traditional construction practices, however, this is not true. Over the past few years, many states, along with the federal government, have given tax incentives towards solar and wind energy systems. Solar photovoltaic technology prices have declined each year since their introduction into the green market, and continue to decline.
Below you will find informational books that explain the practice of green building, products that are good for the environment, and green learning links that emphasize importance on what others are doing to recycle, be more energy efficient, and how to live a healthier life.
Beyond the homefront, many businesses are walking a greener path as well. Commercial construction is beginning to adopt the use of greener materials and techniques, and many business owners are filling those buildings with energy star appliances and other energy saving technologies. Additionally many businesses are helping their employees to coordinate carpooling, and providing recycling services and more. Going Green is our future and if you have any questions about buying a green home or how to remodel your current home to be more energy efficient and eco-savvy, please don't hesitate to contact me.
