Purchasing a new home is a wise decision for so many reasons, including energy and resource efficiency! As you consider\u00a0your move to our beautiful Odenton, Maryland active adult community, here are some great tips for going green in your new home.<\/p>\n
1. Go Sustainable:\u00a0<\/strong>Use non-toxic refinishes and recycled and sustainable materials whenever you can. Maximize your use of recycled and sustainable materials in\u00a0your home from the cutting boards you use in your kitchen to the decor accents.<\/p>\n 2. Be Smart with Lighting:<\/strong>\u00a0Trade an incandescent lightbulb for a compact fluorescent one. Doing so can prevent over 400 pounds of greenhouse gases!<\/p>\n 3. Kick the\u00a0Bottle:<\/strong> The water bottle that is, by trading in your plastic ones for a glass reusable water bottle. Opt for a wide-mouth bottle so you can easily keep it clean and sparkling.<\/p>\n 4. Keep the Air Conditioning Off:<\/strong> At least when you’re away from home. A\/C units use a ton of energy and it saves you money too. So whenever you’re out of the house, turn off the unit.<\/p>\n
