What easy things do you suggest? I know you are trying to promote your site, but this is a forum for discussion. Share with us what you see as the easy steps that people can be taking to go green.

steve,
I see that the site was removed, but do you actually do anything to green your home?

I picture a snuggy link got deleted from up above, though that would cut down on heater bills. We just replaced a 20 year old water heater with a tankless water heater. Hopefully that really does save some money in the long run.
A simple thing would be a rug on a hard wood floor.

brandon. I don't get it. A rug on the floor. How does that save money. I get that a rug won't feel as cold as a hard wood floor or a concrete floor, but is a rug really going to keep you warm?
I LOVE the snuggy as a sustainable technology. Nicely played.

While the site above was removed, I did want to agree that the web is a wonderful resource for finding information about green movements and green products. I do know that there are many who use the web to distribute false information and many others trying to sell products and services that aren't green in any way and just use the monacher to try to reel in buyers.

I know this thread has been dead for some time, but I think the idea of greening your home is a great one. I do wish however that as new homes are being built, that they would be built with sustainability in mind. We would have much less need to green our existing homes if we were building green homes in the first place.
