GOING "GREEN" IN YOUR HOME 

According to the U.S. Green Building Council, "A green home uses less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste and is healthier for the people living inside compared to a standard home ... A home can be built green, or you can make it green later ... Green homes are healthier, more durable and more cost-effective."
