These days, everyone looks for ways to cut costs and
protect their hard earned pay. In the
past this concept and green strategies were worlds apart. Thankfully, times have changed, and keeping
green in your pocket when instituting green strategies in your home can now go
hand in hand. Whether you’re looking to
do home improvements or strictly cut costs, going green while doing so has
never been easier.
Coloradans take pride in preserving the environment and
maintaining its natural state. From
recycling to open space, it should not be a surprise that green strategies in
your home should also take precedence when considering the environment. These can be very small changes that are not
only cost effective, but environmentally conscious as well. Whether it's no VOC paints, that are better
for you and your surroundings or the simple task of changing to LED light
bulbs, which may be more expensive at the initial purchase but use 80-90% less
electricity and last upwards of 100,000 hours; making environmental conscious
decisions for your house has never been easier.
With so many options out there, making green decisions
can seem a bit overwhelming. Thankfully,
there are events out there like the Western Slope Home and Rec Expo. If you happen to be in the Vail Valley and
are interested in home improvements or ways to go green, the Expo may be just
the educational boost you’re looking for.
There will be various industry professionals under one roof at the Eagle
Fairgrounds the weekend of April 25th.
