Being environmentally-conscious is on a lot of people's minds now-a-days. The Department of Energy reports that U.S. residences create 313.4 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Yikes! So, to do our part, we built a swicki to help you find eco-friendly ideas and materials for your next home improvement project. Our "Creative Ideas for Green Home Improvement" swicki can help you discover info for energy efficient windows, find energy-efficient appliances, or learn about using bamboo in your next project. Feel free to comment and vote on the stuff that you think will best help reduce carbon footprints.
Going green is also on a lot of swicki builders' minds. Christoph looks to be just starting a blog, but he's already got a swicki on energy efficiency topics over at Building Physics. JeanneP at Offgrid Desert Living has a swicki on renewable energy sources. If you take a stroll over to Greennetizen (kinda like Green Internet Citizen smushed together), you'll see Martie's "Eco-Friendly" swicki. She's focusing on a broad array of stuff such as being a green consumer as well as finding information on global warming.
Oh, and if you're interested in learning more about the carbon topic, check out Curt Rosengren's The Sustainable Future blog post called "How to find the best carbon offsets." It's a little extra food for thought.
Everyone can do their part for helping the environment, even a swicki.
