Green Living Methods For Redesigning Or Perhaps Building A Home

We want to start off by discussing the use of green wood, and we are not speaking about recycled wood. You're going to realize that some lumber companies will wind up planting a tree for every tree they cut down. Nevertheless there are also other companies that will plant multiple trees for the trees they cut down and that is the lumber that you need to be buying.

Within this paragraph we're going to be speaking about insulation for your home. You are going to find that nearly all the traditional insulations which you can buy have been created using fiberglass and formaldehyde. The fiberglass in the insulation is enough to irritate your skin and make you scratch uncontrollably. You may possibly not recognize this but there have been studies that have connected particular cancers with traditional fiberglass insulation. But this is no longer an issue if you decide to use the new insulation which is available as it's manufactured from recycled blue jeans. One thing you will find is that this insulation can wind up being costly which makes some men and women not want to use it. But the benefits to our planet along with your health is definitely worth the extra cost of this insulation.

Every single home needs to possess some kind of paint in them and you will recognize that these paints can be packed with chemicals. Needless to say if you wish to stay away from these paints there is another one newly available and it's known as "Green Planet Paints". You will see that simply because these paints are plant and clay based you will not need to be concerned about any VOC's in the paint. This makes sure that your paints are not petroleum based, which also means that the VOC's that you find in regular paint are not present in this paint.

For people looking to remodel or build a home you will find that you can do so without having a massive effect on this planet. You need to also realize that if more people and companies made the decision to use these types of green building materials we could help both the planet and our health.
