How Would You Like To Be Green?

I’m not talking about green with envy or even green like a leprechaun. Not the putting green or fried green tomatoes. I’m talking about “green” as it associated with helping the planet. You can do this with your remodel, be it big or small.

 

Here is one idea that will make your project green. Simply donate your used product. There are many organizations in Collier County that would love your donations. Your used cabinets, sinks, faucets and appliances can go a long way to making a family very happy indeed.

 

Other ways you can help is to simply choose to use products produced by manufacturers that have gone through the process of achieving certification as an “environmentally friendly” company. I am not talking about buying outrageously expensive products created just for the green movement. I am referring to those companies, and there are a lot of them, that simply stayed ahead of the curve and made environmental changes before being forced to. When it comes to cabinetry try to choose species like Bamboo or Lyptus. Both woods replenish at a rate far faster than the very popular maple or cherry. We have chosen our suppliers very carefully and consequently have several that are environmentally friendly.    

 

And, in closing, I would like to request that you do one other thing. Having read this I would like you to “pay it forward”. The next time you or a neighbor or friend are going through any type of remodel remind them that simply donating the old, so it can be someone else’s new, is worth its weight in gold.
