Fight back against high energy costs with spray foam insulation | Proud Green Home

We’re believers in Spray Foam Insulation.. We had our attic sprayed after the first year in our current home and our energy bills dropped dramatically.  You can see from the photo that the temperature is mild enough to store a beautiful solid cherry chest of drawers and multitudes of holiday decorations. The company that we hired is www.E3innovate.com – a local Middle TN company.  I highly recommend them!

Return of the Ranch

Widely popular in the 1950’s, ranch style homes are making a comeback.  I know this to be true, as I sell a lot of the 1950’s and 60’s ranches in the Donelson – Hermitage  area.  Why are they so popular?  Read here: Return of the Ranch.

Summer Home Staging Tips – Outdoor Edition

Green Tip for February

 If you’re in the clutches of the Polar Vortex with bone-chilling artic fronts pouring down from Canada, you may have frost on the inside of your windows and your furnace seems to be running non-stop just to keep up with the demand.

Your home furnace is in overdrive to keep you and your family warm. Every time your furnace runs, it draws air through your filters that protect the blower motor and cleanses the air. The more the air handler runs the greater the chance filters get clogged, which impedes air flow. It takes the blower motor greater effort to pull air through the clogged air filters. This can cause pre-mature failure of your heating system. Changing the filter provides cleaner indoor air, increases the efficiency of your heater, which ultimately can save you money on your heating bills. Click here to read: Help your furnace survive the Polar Vortex with this simple chore | ProudGreenHome.com.

November Green Tip – Reduce Plastic Use!

2-million-plastic-bottles-recycler-finder

 

We humans are obsessed with plastic. Over 300 million tons are produced every year to make plastic bags, bottles, clothes, computers, and just about everything else you can think of. And the problem is only getting worse. Over the last 10 years, we’ve produced more plastic than we did in the entire 20th century!

Take the pledge to cut down on your plastic use today!

Here’s the thing: our excessive plastic use is hurting the environment. For one, the production of this plastic is responsible for millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating climate change and polluting the air we breathe. On top of that, some of this plastic ends up in landfills, where it slowly breaks down, leaching harmful chemicals into the soil and groundwater. The rest of the plastic ends up on our streets, in our parks, and in our oceans. Over 100,000 marine animals and 1 million birds die each year from ingesting plastic.

Recycling is one way we can reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in our landfills and in our natural environment, but—given the excessive amount of plastic we consume–recycling simply can’t keep up. We need to reduce the amount of plastic we use!

How can we accomplish this? We can start by avoiding disposable bags, bottles, silverware, dishes and other single-use products, and replacing them with reusable items.

Join us by pledging to reduce the amount of disposable plastic products that you use. The more people that make the pledge, the bigger the impact we’ll have.

Thanks for your support.
