Green. The new catch word in real estate. What is it and why is it important.

Being green is not only environmentally friendly by saving on non renewable resources, but also saves you money in lesser energy costs. 

Greening your home can be as simple as replacing old bulbs with the new florescent, to replacing appliances (especially if they are 10 years or older)  with energy star rated ones. A major replacement is installing double paned low-e windows.

Then there are general "green" items that you can do daily. 

• Reduce, recycle, reuse
• Turn off the computer or go into energy-saving mode
• Donate food leftovers(non perishables) to local second harvest 

• recycle your used ink cartridges (most stores give you credit)
