Friends of Mom

I don't mind helping others promote their Green activities and Green Irene asked to post her offers to help homeowners go green, especially the opportunity to work with a Local consultant.

Dear Mountain Mom,
I would like to tell your readers about the company I work for, Green Irene LLC. We created the Green Home Makeover for clients who wanted to live a more sustainable lifestyle, but don't want to make a hobby out of going green. The Green Home Makeover is a great first step for a homeowner to finally move their family toward a greener lifestyle. In the process we are enabling local Eco-Consultants to make a part time professional income doing something they can be proud of and empowering these Green Home Consultants to be a force of positive change in their local community.

One of the simplest and most beneficial investments the average person can make is in energy and water conservation. It takes a considerable amount of energy to deliver and treat the water we use everyday. American public water supply and treatment facilities consume about 56 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year-enough electricity to power more than 5 million homes for that same year. Letting your faucet run for five minutes uses about as much energy as letting a 60 watt light bulb run for 14 hours. By curbing home water use, we can decrease the release of Greenhouse Gases because water pumping, delivery and wastewater treatment consumes a significant amount of our nation's electricity. Consider the savings from the 2 Bathroom Water Conservation Kit (featured below). We sell this Kit for $133. Over 7 years the items in this kit will save you $4,277 ($3,267 in energy costs and $1,010 for 252,000 gallons of water). Something as simple as a flow restricting aerator (1.0 gallons per minute for the bathroom sink vs. standard 2.2 GPM) saves $707 in energy to heat the hot water over 7 years and 92,000 gallons of water per year.
