UPCOMING WORKSHOP: GOING GREEN!

We are presenting a workshop at the Macon Public Library located at 361 Lewis Ave, Brooklyn, NY –  time TBD. The purpose of this workshop is to provide information to homeowners and individuals interested in learning how to be more efficient and save money.  Another reason for the workshop is to provide information on how to get “Green” money.

What does it all mean? Going Green involves actions that work to save the environment. For example, recycling, using low-energy appliances, conserving water and a host of other actions people can take. Going Green works to help save the planet a great way to save money. The U.S. government is even paying people who own homes to go greener in the form of tax breaks and tax credits.

Here’s a list of simple but effective tips to helping your household go green and also save some green… as in money.

1. Install Low Energy Light Bulbs.

2. Trade Thirsty Plants and Landscaping for Drought or Low Maintenance Plants.

3. Use More Natural Products to Decorate Your Home Instead of Manufactured Products (water saving shower heads, toilets and faucets).

4. Let the Government Pay You To Go Green – consumers who purchase and install specific products, such as energy-efficient windows, insulation, doors, roofs, and heating and cooling equipment in the home can receive a tax credit.

5. Decorate With More Plants Instead of Plastics – EPA studies confirm indoor air pollution affects more people than outdoor pollutions because of low air circulation indoors and the number of manufactured products such as plastics, glues and paint located inside homes. This is a growing threat for the many African Americans who suffer from respiratory ailments such as asthma, sinus problems and other allergies.

Keep posted, more information to follow.
