Honoring Earth Day This Month – With Green Building & Home Ideas
Greening Your Home Gives Back on Earth Day and Beyond
Sorry to be MIA readers, I caught my son's bad cold and felt icky for days. I'm feeling a bit perkier now and just in time too because April is a busy month.
As many of you likely know, April is Earth Day month. Technically Earth Day falls on the 22nd, but I tend to look at it as an all month event at my blogs - then I can offer up ideas about how you can celebrate.
I should also let you know that I'm a little ambivalent about Earth Day. On one hand, sure I think it's cool to honor the earth one day a year. On the other hand I think it's lame to honor the earth ONLY one day a year. I wrote a rant about this at Tree Hugging Family - so I won't rehash it here.
I will say that in my opinion, the real way to celebrate Earth Day is to be green all year long. Going green, or planting a tree on a single day can only get us so far. Installing n excellent water heater, using reclaimed wood, recycling our building waste, and using other green building and home techniques are green gifts that give back to the planet not only on Earth Day, but for many years to come.
That said, throughout the month I'll be offering you some ideas about how you can honor the planet all year round (and on Earth Day). We're lucky in one respect because when it comes to green building, there are plenty of great ways to make the entire process greener.
This month, at this blog, look for ways to celebrate Earth Day that relate to your home. We'll look at ideas that work for new homes and existing homes. Ideas related to:
- Water use.
- Energy applications and use.
- Insulation.
- Reclaimed materials.
- Landscaping.
- And more.
Also be sure to check the video section of this site. I've added some videos and hope to add a large amount of new ones this month. I'm picky, so they'll be good videos.
What do you think about Earth Day? Are you celebrating? I hope you're celebrating all year long.
