Eco-friendly upgrades for your home

Go to Greenandsave.com to find out what benefits there are to green renovating. Some samples: adding solar panels for $13,000 takes 10.8 years to recover the cost ($1200/year savings), insulating walls for $750 takes 2.5 years to recover ($300/year savings), low-E window installation for $700 takes 2.3 years to recover ($300/year savings) and planting trees for $1,200 takes 4 years to recover ($300/year in savings if planted to shade the house). Of course the trees you plant have other advantages, too!!!
